UNSPSC 23241610: Pipe or tube cutter

UNSPSC 23241610 Pipe or tube cutter (Commodity) encompasses hand and power tools for maintenance and operational use across state and local government facilities, warehouses, and field operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing pipe and tube cutters as part of broader hand-tool procurement bundles rather than as standalone items. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB on June 2, 2026, for ongoing hand-tool purchases including saws and cutting implements across 52 line-item categories, with an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41 and a June 23, 2026 bid deadline. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California, issued an RFB on April 1, 2026, for inventory tools and tool accessories with specific brand and equal-product options, due April 16, 2026. The City of Dallas posted a solicitation on March 26, 2026, for a sixty-month indefinite-delivery master agreement covering hand and power tools and supplies across all city departments, with bids due April 24, 2026. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipal water districts, and city procurement offices, typically bundling cutters and saws with hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, and related hand-tool categories under a single cooperative or blanket purchase agreement.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, California, and Texas, with representation across the Southeast, Southwest, and West Coast in recent postings. Hillsborough County and Eastern Municipal Water District represent repeat categories of buyers—county commissioners and special-purpose districts—seeking five-year supply agreements with fixed or CPI-indexed pricing and on-demand delivery to multiple warehouse and field locations. The City of Dallas's sixty-month ID/IQ structure and Hillsborough County's non-exclusive five-year award model indicate preference for volume purchasing without guaranteed minimum orders, with vendors expected to meet rapid delivery windows (five business days to thirty days depending on jurisdiction) and maintain inventory depth across multiple locations. No single vendor dominance or set-aside restrictions appear in recent postings; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with manufacturer authorization and adequate warehouse capacity.
