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 in practice covers snow and ice removal equipment components—specifically underbody scrapers, side plates, and related hydraulic and control systems—mounted on municipal and county highway trucks for winter road maintenance. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily county highway departments and city fleet services operations tasked with acquiring integrated snow and ice equipment packages rather than standalone glass scrapers; the code's nominal scope diverges meaningfully from the actual work being bought, which centers on heavy-duty underbody and sander systems rated for vehicles in the 46,000-pound rear-axle class.

Recent activity shows procurement by county highway departments and city fleet services in Wisconsin and Arkansas. Portage County, Wisconsin Purchasing Department issued RFQ 202622PC (due July 28, 2026) for snow and ice equipment—underbody scrapers with side plates, dump bodies with hydraulics, tailgate sanders, and Force control systems—to be installed on two 2023 Western Star 47X patrol trucks rated for 66,000 pounds G.V.W., with a contract term of September 1 through December 31, 2026 plus five one-year renewal options; the specification required bidders to be original manufacturers or authorized distributors with five years of experience and referenced specific Burke plow components and M-B Power Broom equipment. The City of Little Rock Fleet Services Department issued RFQ 239971 (due July 2, 2026) seeking snowplows and related equipment homogenous with existing fleet inventory, though that solicitation disclosed minimal detail beyond the response deadline. A Philadelphia hand-tools micro purchase (B2626809, due April 14, 2026, capped at $43,000) appears unrelated to the code's snow and ice equipment scope.
