UNSPSC 27111614: Non sparking pick

A type of pick made of a specific alloy, usually a combination of beryllium and copper or bronze and aluminum appropriate for use in environments with high explosive risk such as chemical plants, power stations, gas and oil distribution lines, etc.

UNSPSC 27111614 Non sparking pick, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its scope. The single relevant opportunity on record is the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB2600319, a consumable janitorial and operational supplies contract for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department posted July 7, 2026 with a response deadline of July 24, 2026. The estimated contract value is $765,679.84 for a one-year term covering as-needed supplies across 47 fire stations operating 24 hours daily. While the ITB does not explicitly enumerate non-sparking picks among line items, the janitorial and operational supplies scope for fire rescue operations suggests potential applicability to safety-sensitive equipment purchasing. The county requires all products to be new and unused in original packaging, with authorized distributor status and chain-of-custody documentation required.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, specifically Hillsborough County and the Tampa metropolitan area where the fire stations operate. Delivery must occur within 10 days of purchase order receipt, with emergency delivery within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex at 9440 East Columbus Drive, Tampa, Florida 33619, and all logistics coordinated Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST. The issuing body is the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' procurement office. The county reserves the right to award by line item, group, or overall total net bid price, does not guarantee minimum purchase quantities, and maintains a Cone of Silence restricting bidder communications. No bid or performance surety is required. The contract may be extended to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms, suggesting potential for cooperative purchasing leverage across the regional council.
