UNSPSC 27111604: Hatchets

UNSPSC 27111604 Hatchets is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code nominally to classify hand axes and similar cutting tools, but recent solicitation activity shows little direct procurement of hatchets as standalone items. The City of Philadelphia posted a hand tools micro purchase (ITB B2626809, due April 14, 2026) that included hatchets among a broader line-item basket, with a total contract cap of $43,000 and award on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis by line item or whole, whichever served the City's interest. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) for janitorial and operational supplies to support 47 fire stations—a $765,679.84 one-year contract where hatchets and similar tools may appear as consumable equipment alongside other station supplies. Both issuers required FOB Destination pricing and authorized-distributor status. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority and State of Florida transit agencies posted automated-transit-vehicle procurements (P24019 and P26009) in April and June 2026, but these solicitations concern SAE Level 4 automated driving systems and bear no connection to hand tools or hatchets.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Pennsylvania based on the recent postings. Issuing bodies are primarily county and city procurement offices (Hillsborough County and Philadelphia) and transit authorities, with no state department or school district posting for this commodity in the available record. The source does not support characterization of issuing-body concentration or repeat buying under this code. Hand-tools procurement through state and local bodies appears episodic and bundled with broader consumable-goods solicitations rather than standalone hatchet-specific tenders. The code shows minimal dedicated recent activity.
