UNSPSC 23241609: Knives and skives

UNSPSC 23241609 Knives and skives is a Commodity code that in state and local practice encompasses cutting implements and related tools purchased as consumable supplies for operational use. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' recent ITB for janitorial and operational supplies suggests that knives and skiving tools are procured alongside other consumables for facilities management and custodial work, though the solicitation does not itemize knife purchases separately. State and local buyers under this code include county facilities departments and public safety agencies operating multiple sites requiring routine replacement of cutting implements. Issuing bodies appear to aggregate knife purchases into broader consumable-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items, bundling them with janitorial and operational goods to streamline procurement and reduce transaction costs.

The Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's ITB2600319, posted July 7, 2026 with bids due July 24, 2026, represents the recent activity visible under this code in the source. That competitive sealed-bid solicitation covers consumable janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations operating continuously, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for a one-year term and delivery required within 10 days of purchase order or five business days for emergency orders to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. The solitary recent opportunity in the source limits visibility into broader geographic activity or issuing-body patterns at the Commodity level.
