UNSPSC 12131707: Lighters

UNSPSC 12131707 Lighters (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a Santa Clara County expressway pavement rehabilitation project (ITB, due May 21, 2026), a Santa Clara County guardrail replacement and safety barrier improvements project (ITB, due April 23, 2026), and a Barrow County, Georgia road resurfacing project (competitive sealed bid, due March 18, 2026)—are all highway and pavement construction work with no connection to lighters or ignition devices. The code classification appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error; the solicitations involve asphalt overlay, concrete curb installation, guardrail replacement, traffic signal modification, and similar roadway infrastructure work that falls under construction services codes, not commodity codes for portable lighting or fire-starting equipment.

State and local governments procuring under this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with their taxonomy administrators before relying on it for spend analysis or supplier outreach. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content makes this code an unreliable signal for lighters procurement activity in the current market.
