UNSPSC 27111600: Forming tools

UNSPSC 27111600 Forming tools, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are a $765,679.84 consumable janitorial and operational supplies contract from Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB, due July 24, 2026), a hammer tacker micro purchase from the City of Philadelphia (RFQ, due May 29, 2026), and a hand tools micro purchase also from Philadelphia (RFQ, due April 14, 2026, $43,000 cap). None of these solicitations reflect actual forming-tool procurement — the janitorial supplies, hammer tackers, and general hand tools fall outside the forming-tool category's typical metalworking and stamping-press tooling scope. The issuing bodies consist of one county government and a municipal procurement office; both Philadelphia postings are micro purchases below the state's $41,000–$43,000 thresholds.

Activity is concentrated in Florida (Hillsborough County, Tampa) and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), with no geographic spread evident in the recent record. The Hillsborough County Fire Rescue opportunity is the largest by contract value and requires standard delivery within ten days and emergency delivery within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex. The Philadelphia micro purchases require FOB Destination pricing, electronic submission through PHLContracts, and 365-day contract terms. This code shows little relevant recent activity for forming-tool vendors; the tagging appears to reflect data-entry misalignment rather than genuine procurement demand in the forming-tool family.
