UNSPSC 27111526: Deburring tool

A hand tool used to smooth out rough areas or surface irregularities on metal or other material. Comprised of a handle containing an elongated bar similar to a bit attached to a blade or cutting disc.

UNSPSC 27111526 Deburring tool is a Commodity code that frames the actual scope narrowly, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover a much wider range of machine tools and related equipment—CNC machinery, wire electrical discharge machines, shearing machines, and machining center systems—rather than deburring tools specifically. State and local governments are soliciting this code to acquire capital equipment for educational institutions (community colleges, university systems), transportation departments, and landfill operations. The issuing bodies are primarily Texas-based educational entities (Texas A&M University System, Texas State Technical College, Polk County School Board in Florida) and state transportation or public-works agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, State of California, Hillsborough County). A recurring issuer is the Texas A&M University System, which has posted multiple ITBs for CNC and machining equipment over the past two months through its AggieBid procurement platform. The code shows little alignment between its nominal deburring-tool classification and the heavy-equipment acquisitions actually being procured; this appears to be a taxonomy-mapping issue rather than genuine deburring-tool procurement activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in California. Representative opportunities include Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0542 for a CNC lathe and machining center (due July 23, 2026), TAMUS-ITB-26-0540 for CNC equipment (due July 13, 2026), and TAMUS-ITB-26-0541 for machine shop, welding, and fabrication equipment (due July 15, 2026), all posted through AggieBid; Texas State Technical College's RFP-315 for Wire EDM machines with a base contract value exceeding $100,000 (due March 11, 2026); and Hillsborough County's sole-source notice of intent to award Powerscreen of Florida $1,992,824.18 over five years for maintenance, repairs, and parts for composting equipment at the SE Landfill in Tampa (challenges due June 25, 2026). TxDOT has posted multiple IFBs for OEM replacement parts for Cincinnati Shear machines. The code shows sparse and misaligned procurement activity; vendors should verify that opportunities posted under 27111526 match their actual product or service offering before pursuing.
