UNSPSC 27111517: Knife blade sets or dispensers

UNSPSC 27111517 Knife blade sets or dispensers is a Commodity code covering tactical and operational cutting implements procured by state and local law enforcement and investigative agencies. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows state procurement offices buying law-enforcement-grade equipment bundles that include multi-tools, hand tools, and tactical gear for Criminal Investigation Division personnel operating in high-risk environments. The Texas Office of the Attorney General's IFB 302-27-254855, posted October 1, 2026, exemplifies the scope: the agency requested 85 black tactical multi-tools alongside complementary tactical equipment including breaching kits, flashlights, cuff cutters, restraint belts, and helmet-mounted light systems. All materials must be brand new and unused, with delivery required to the OAG receiving facility in Austin during standard business hours. State law-enforcement and investigative agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with single-source repeat activity around annual tactical equipment refreshes.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Texas, where the OAG's IFB represents the current solicitation window. Responses to IFB 302-27-254855 were due October 15, 2026, with pricing firm for 60 days from the response deadline and award based on best value to the State of Texas considering specification compliance, price and availability, delivery capability, and bidder qualifications. A mandatory 10 percent subcontracting goal for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses applies; Texas resident bidder preference applies where vendors certify a Texas address under Texas Government Code Section 2252.001(4). Vendor questions closed October 5, 2026, with Addendum 1 (issued October 1) extending the original bid deadline by one day. Responses must be submitted through the Bonfire platform on FOB destination terms with all shipping, handling, and delivery costs included in unit prices. The initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with extension options allowing the OAG to require continued performance in thirty-day increments upon thirty days' written notice.
