UNSPSC 27111512: Bolt cutters

UNSPSC 27111512 Bolt cutters is a Commodity code that encompasses hand tools for cutting through padlocks, chain, and wire in maintenance and operational contexts. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects the actual buying of consumable and durable tools for fire rescue, public works, and facility maintenance operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county governments and municipal agencies, particularly public safety departments operating round-the-clock facilities that require standing inventories of operational supplies including hand tools and cutting implements.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026, requesting competitive sealed bids for consumable janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. The supplies support Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, which operates 47 fire stations 24 hours daily; bolt cutters appear in the broader line-item catalog alongside janitorial products. All items must be new and in original packaging, with standard delivery within 10 days and emergency delivery within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. The County reserves the right to award by line item or group, does not guarantee minimum purchase quantities, and permits sharing of the contract with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. Recent activity under this code is limited; the single documented opportunity reflects Florida county-level procurement tied to operational supply replenishment for fire rescue operations.
