UNSPSC 27111514: Glass cutters

UNSPSC 27111514 Glass cutters (Commodity) describes hand tools and cutting implements purchased by state and local agencies for laboratory, field sampling, and analytical work. Recent state and local solicitations tag this code alongside consumables and supplies used in water quality testing, environmental sampling, and laboratory analysis rather than standalone glass-cutting tools, suggesting the code captures cutting instruments as components of larger laboratory procurement packages. The issuing bodies soliciting under related codes and commodity families include state health departments, environmental agencies, municipal water utilities, and transportation departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Texas General Land Office, City of Arlington, Mississippi state government, and Texas Department of Transportation appear as repeat or recent buyers of laboratory supplies and analytical equipment across environmental and public health missions.

Recent opportunities posted across Texas, Colorado, Mississippi, and California show activity concentrated in water-quality testing, wastewater surveillance, and laboratory analysis workflows. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018026 on September 24, 2026, requesting standards, consumables, and instrument parts for drinking water analysis, with response due October 9, 2026 and historical annual value of $50,000–$75,000. City of Arlington, Texas solicited an annual requirements contract for laboratory supplies and chemicals on August 19, 2026, for delivery to laboratory services and water treatment plants, with bids due September 17, 2026. Texas General Land Office issued IFB 7643-LP for water sample collection and analysis services under the Texas Beach Watch Program, requiring field sampling and laboratory analysis of approximately 1,421 samples annually across Brazoria, Matagorda, and Harris counties. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued multiple sole-source procurements in May 2026 for reagents and service agreements with Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Ceres Nanosciences, and Twist Bioscience, ranging from $2.3 million to $3.5 million over multi-year terms for genomic surveillance and wastewater testing operations. The code shows no recent standalone glass-cutter opportunities; relevant activity clusters around laboratory consumables, reagents, and analytical instruments supporting environmental and public health testing missions.
