UNSPSC 27111603: Anvils

UNSPSC 27111603 Anvils (Commodity) describes metalworking and craft-work hand tools, but the recent state and local activity under this code does not align with anvil procurement. The City of Orlando's IFB27-0025, posted October 6, 2026, solicits pottery supplies—clay, kiln equipment consumables, and studio materials—to support a municipal pottery studio. The scope includes sixty-one enumerated line items plus a catch-all sixty-second line item for additional supplies, with the studio operating twenty electric pottery wheels, nine electric kilns, two Raku kilns, a Geil gas kiln, a slab roller, spray booth, and extruder. Clay orders average 4,000 to 5,000 pounds on a forty-five-day cycle with storage capacity of approximately 12,000 pounds; deliveries must occur within one week of order placement on an F.O.B. Destination basis. The contract term runs one year from approval and execution with options for four additional twelve-month renewal periods. This is the sole recent opportunity on record under the code.

The City of Orlando is the only identified issuing body in the recent-opportunities dataset. Bids are due November 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM; questions are due October 26 by 5:00 PM. The City applies a Veteran Business Enterprise preference in evaluation and considers Small and Local Business Enterprise participation. Respondents must carry Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance with statutory limits, $1 million combined single limit Comprehensive Automobile Liability coverage, and $1 million combined single limit Commercial General Liability coverage. Bid prices are fixed and include all shipping costs; the City does not pay federal excise or state sales taxes. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with anvil procurement; the single opportunity posted under this code is for pottery studio supplies, suggesting a mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC category and the work actually being solicited.
