UNSPSC 73181011: Bending services

UNSPSC 73181011 Bending services, a Commodity code, encompasses fabrication and machining work that state and local governments buy to support equipment repair, maintenance, and capital asset operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to procure machine shop services including precision milling, boring, turning, welding, and fabrication of specialty components; equipment-specific work such as gearbox and pump repair; and capital-equipment purchases such as ironworker fabrication machinery. The issuing bodies span transportation authorities, county governments, and city procurement offices, with no single jurisdiction dominating recent activity.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in the Southeast and South Florida, driven by solicitations from the Orange County Transportation Authority in California (RFQ 250358 for a Scotchman 50-ton ironworker fabrication machine, due June 2, 2026, estimated value $35,772), DeKalb County, Georgia (ITB 2026-076-ITB for machine shop services in the Tennis Center reconstruction, due July 13, 2026, and a separate machine shop bid for Watershed equipment repair due June 8, 2026), Palm Beach County, Florida (IFB 68026032RJW1 for precision machine shop services, due June 24, 2026, estimated value $188,750), and the City of Atlanta (IFB for tire disposal and repair services, due May 8, 2026). Broward County Transportation Department also solicited mid-life bus fleet repower overhaul services under FTA funding (TRN2131187B1, due February 23, 2026), and Seminole County, Florida posted an RFP for heavy equipment maintenance and repairs (RFP-5089-25/LAS, due September 3, 2025). Activity in this code is episodic, driven by specific capital or maintenance needs rather than continuous demand streams.
