UNSPSC 27111513: Hose cutter

UNSPSC 27111513 Hose cutter is a Commodity code covering hand tools and equipment supplied on an as-needed basis to state and local government operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are procuring hose cutters and related hand tools as part of broader annual or multi-year supply contracts for maintenance, field operations, and general facility use. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners both issued ITB notices for hand tools in 2026, with the Augusta contract covering 39 line items and the Hillsborough County contract spanning 52 line items, each specified by brand name and functional requirement. Issuing bodies under this code include city procurement departments, county commissioners' offices, and cooperative purchasing platforms. The M/WBE Program and local bidder preference provisions apply to municipal contracts, while county procurements may permit cooperative utilization across participating jurisdictions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia and Florida (Hillsborough County).
