UNSPSC 27111511: Wire cutters

UNSPSC 27111511 Wire cutters, a Commodity code, encompasses cutting and hand tools that state and local procurement offices buy for operational and maintenance use across departments and facilities. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments purchasing bolt cutters and janitorial/operational supplies — hand tools and consumables needed for fire rescue operations, public works, and facility management. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city procurement offices (such as Philadelphia) and county government agencies (such as Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), typically buying through small-order purchases, competitive sealed bids, and ITBs for routine operational needs.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro-purchase IFB for bolt cutters due September 4, 2026 (Solicitation B2727842), with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis at the City's discretion. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted a competitive sealed ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319) due July 24, 2026, estimated at $765,679.84 for a one-year contract to serve the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 fire stations operating 24/7; the County accepts award by line item, group, or overall total net bid price. Both jurisdictions require new, unused merchandise in original packaging and coordinate delivery through designated project managers.
