UNSPSC 27111523: Glass scraper

A tool comprised of two joined plates that may be either plastic or metallic, containing a rough metal blade between them that is located in the upper extreme in order to remove deposits on a glass surface.

UNSPSC 27111523 Glass scraper is a Commodity code that describes hand tools for scraping glass and similar surfaces, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect snow and ice control equipment — specifically underbody scrapers, plow blades, and integrated hydraulic systems mounted on highway trucks. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in its intended product category. State and local governments appear to be using the code to capture winter maintenance equipment procurement, a function not aligned with the code's abstract definition.

The geographic activity shown is limited to two opportunities: Portage County, Wisconsin posted an IFB (Solicitation 202622PC) in July 2026 for snow and ice equipment installation on county highway trucks, due July 28, 2026, requiring original manufacturers or authorized distributors with five years' experience and a minimum two-year warranty; and the City of Little Rock Fleet Services Department posted an RFQ (Solicitation 239971) in June 2026 for snowplows and related equipment compatible with existing fleet assets, due July 2, 2026, though that notice omits specifications, quantities, contract value, and evaluation criteria. Both opportunities target operational fleets managing winter road conditions rather than hand-tool procurement.
