UNSPSC 27111544: Rip saw

A saw designed for cutting along the grain. The front of the teeth are generally at right angles to the blade and pitched at between 85 and 90 degrees to the blade.

UNSPSC 27111544 Rip saw is a Commodity code covering hand and power saws purchased by state and local governments for maintenance, construction, and operations work. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local bodies buying specific saw models and saw-related products—including reciprocating saw blades and rip saws alongside broader hand-tool assortments—for use across county operations and field maintenance. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, a standout repeat buyer under this code, has posted multiple ITBs for saw blades and hand tools containing saws, indicating steady demand for both individual blade replacement and bundled tool procurement. The work solicited is straightforward commodity supply: vendors quote unit prices on named SKUs, deliver within five business days to county warehouses or maintenance facilities, and accept annual CPI-U price adjustments. Contracts are non-exclusive, permit multiple suppliers, carry no minimum purchase guarantees, and are available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms. Award goes to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder across all line items, with no bonds or insurance required.

Hillsborough County, Florida accounts for the recent visible activity under this code. In March 2026, the County issued ITB2600199 for reciprocating saw blades (Milwaukee and Diablo models) with an estimated two-year value of $78,367.00 and a March 26, 2026 response date. In June 2026, Hillsborough County posted ITB2600285 for ongoing hand tools including saws, wrenches, and pry bars, estimated at $715,540.41 over five years with a June 23, 2026 response date. Both solicitations require electronic submission through the County's Euna Procurement system and mandate E-Verify compliance, Drug-Free Workplace certification, and W-9 documentation. The source provides no evidence of parallel activity in other states or jurisdictions during the recent period, leaving geographic concentration unclear beyond Florida.
