UNSPSC 23241610: Pipe or tube cutter

UNSPSC 23241610 Pipe or tube cutter is a Commodity code covering hand tools for cutting operations, though recent state and local opportunities show that issuing bodies soliciting under this code are actually purchasing broader hand tool categories on an as-needed basis rather than pipe and tube cutters specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include city procurement departments, county boards of commissioners, and cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple jurisdictions. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have recently issued ITBs for annual hand tool supply contracts that bundle pipe or tube cutters with ancillary tools such as pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, shovels, and brooms. Suppliers typically respond by quoting fixed prices on all line items with brand-name specification requirements, delivery within 5–60 days of purchase order receipt, and allowance for annual price escalation adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or limited percentage increases. Contracts are commonly structured as annual or multi-year agreements with optional renewal periods and may be leveraged across multiple county or cooperative-member agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with a broader multi-jurisdictional cooperative procurement through Sourcewell spanning Washington state, Minnesota, and other states. The City of Augusta posted ITB 27-001 Hand Tools on September 10, 2026, with sealed bids due September 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., covering 39 line items with a Local Bidders Preference and M/WBE Program ordinance requirements; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00285 on June 2, 2026, with bids due June 23, 2026, estimating $715,540.41 over a five-year term and requiring delivery to multiple county warehouse locations within five business days. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026, targeting law enforcement agencies and broader public entities; the scope and applicability to pipe or tube cutters is unclear from the available documentation.
