UNSPSC 27111504: Pocket knives

UNSPSC 27111504 Pocket knives is a Commodity code that captures edged hand tools, including utility and tactical blades, procured by state and local governments primarily as part of broader law enforcement and field-operations equipment buys rather than as standalone items. State and local buyers rarely solicit pocket knives in isolation; instead, the code appears in cooperative purchasing frameworks and equipment catalogs where knives are bundled with other tactical or utility gear for police, fire, emergency response, and outdoor field personnel. The issuing bodies include state purchasing cooperatives, county governments, municipal police departments, and special-purpose cooperative vehicles such as Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit that aggregates demand across multiple jurisdictions.
