UNSPSC 20102103: Hand held rock drills

UNSPSC 20102103 Hand held rock drills is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's abstract definition—handheld percussion tools for rock excavation—does not match the actual work being solicited: three of four recent opportunities involve highway and bridge construction, pavement rehabilitation, guardrail replacement, and safety barrier improvements in California, while a fourth is a cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell. The opportunities do not reference handheld rock drills or percussion drilling equipment.

Santa Clara County, California dominates the recent activity under this code, posting three ITB (Invitation to Bid) solicitations for transportation infrastructure projects between February and May 2026: the Red Fox Creek Bridge Replacement Project (due March 5, 2026), the Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements project (due April 23, 2026), and the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (due May 21, 2026). All three are sealed-bid procurements requiring physical submission with mandatory pre-bid conferences. A fourth opportunity from Sourcewell—a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative issuing an RFP on behalf of multiple jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026)—appears to be unrelated to the code's scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity for handheld rock drilling equipment in state and local procurement.
