UNSPSC 31141503: Glass injection moldings

UNSPSC 31141503 Glass injection moldings is a Commodity code capturing the procurement of injection-molded glass components and, as evidenced in recent state and local solicitations, the specialized equipment used to manufacture them. State and local buyers under this code include higher-education institutions acquiring production machinery for research and teaching laboratories. The University of Southern Mississippi's Procurement and Contract Services represents the primary recent issuing body on record, purchasing capital equipment rather than finished molded parts.

The University of Southern Mississippi issued an IFB (Solicitation 3160008023, BID 26-41) on April 26, 2026, with a response deadline of May 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT, for one 110-ton electric injection molding machine to be installed in the Mississippi Polymer Institute Processing Lab. The machine specifications were tightly constrained by facility geometry—mold capacity of 14" x 14" x 16", 40mm screw diameter, 171-gram shot size, 800F maximum barrel temperature, and a footprint of 179" x 50" to fit through doorways measuring 82" height by 70" width. Award was to be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications; the University required a delivery lead time not exceeding 16 weeks, one full day of installation and familiarization, three days of training (onsite or online), a minimum one-year warranty, and lifetime technical support. No contract value or budget range was disclosed. Geographic activity under the code is limited to Mississippi based on current records; the source does not support solicitations in other states or regions.
