UNSPSC 27111500: Cutting and crimping and punching tools

UNSPSC 27111500 Cutting and crimping and punching tools is a Class code that encompasses hand tools and powered equipment for severing, shaping, and fastening metal and other materials — though recent state and local solicitations show the code applied inconsistently. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase (RFQ) for bolt cutters due September 4, 2026, a straightforward fit for the code's scope. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, however, posted an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies for its Fire Rescue Department with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 due July 24, 2026 — work unrelated to the code's nominal scope. State and local buying under this code appears to span municipal procurement offices and county operations, though the small sample and category mismatch in the Hillsborough opportunity limit visibility into typical issuing-body concentration.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia bolt cutters purchase represents a small-order micro purchase, while the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue janitorial supplies contract, valued at $765,679.84 and executable on an as-needed basis with 10-day standard delivery to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, suggests larger ongoing supply relationships in the region. The code shows limited recent relevant activity; the Hillsborough County posting appears to be a data-tagging anomaly rather than a representative example of cutting and crimping tools procurement.
