UNSPSC 27111504: Pocket knives

UNSPSC 27111504 Pocket knives is a Commodity-tier code that encompasses handheld cutting tools for law enforcement and public-sector use. State and local governments procure pocket knives primarily through cooperative purchasing agreements that serve multi-jurisdictional law enforcement agencies, with recent solicitations targeting equipment standardization across police departments, sheriff's offices, and related public safety personnel. The buying bodies include state and local law enforcement agencies, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts coordinated through established cooperative-purchasing vehicles.
