UNSPSC 27111607: Swaging tools

UNSPSC 27111607 Swaging tools is a Commodity code that encompasses precision machining equipment and related components for manufacturing operations, though recent state and local solicitations show activity concentrated heavily in CNC machine systems, electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment, and OEM replacement parts for existing production machinery rather than hand or portable swaging tools per se. State and local buyers under this code span educational institutions (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College, Polk County Schools), state transportation and production departments (Texas Department of Transportation), county government (Hillsborough County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions nationwide (Sourcewell). The actual work being solicited includes procurement of CNC lathes and machining centers, Wire EDM systems, water-table plasma cutters, complete CNC training systems with tooling and warranty, and detailed OEM replacement-part kits for Cincinnati Shear machines—all tied to educational workforce development, facility production operations, or equipment maintenance rather than hand-tool swaging.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and California. Texas A&M University System has issued three ITBs in June and July 2026 for CNC equipment, a CNC lathe and machining center, and machine shop and welding equipment (TAMUSITB260542 due July 23, 2026; TAMUSITB260541 due July 15, 2026; TAMUSITB260540 due July 13, 2026). TxDOT has solicited OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines twice, with responses due June 2, 2026 and April 16, 2026. Texas State Technical College issued RFP-315 for Wire EDM machines with a one-year base term and four optional renewals, anticipated value exceeding $100,000, with proposals due March 11, 2026. The Polk County Schools Board issued a Request for Vendor Response (SS15MJ0426) for comprehensive CNC training solutions including desktop and industrial CNC equipment with tooling, installation, and two-year warranty, due March 24, 2026. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement (SS2600306) to Powerscreen of Florida for maintenance, repairs, and parts to composting equipment totaled $1,992,824.18 over five years, due June 25, 2026 for challenges. The State of California posted RFB-IS-26200650 for a shearing machine with bids due March 10, 2026, and RFB-IS-26201000 for a Water Table CNC Hypertherm Plasma Cutter due June 11, 2026.
