UNSPSC 27111718: Tap extractors

UNSPSC 27111718 Tap extractors, a Commodity code, covers removal tools and fixtures used to extract broken or stuck taps from drilled holes during maintenance and repair work on machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. State and local governments procure tap extractors as consumable or capital maintenance items through facility operations departments, public works divisions, water and wastewater utilities, transit maintenance shops, and school district maintenance programs. The tools range from manual hand extractors to specialized mechanical removal fixtures and are typically bought as individual units or in small kits to support ongoing drill-and-tap operations in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair work.

The source contains no recent state or local contract opportunities posted under this code. Without posted solicitations, no geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or representative opportunities can be identified. Tap extractors remain a low-visibility procurement category in state and local contracting — the code likely reflects purchases made through standing maintenance supply contracts, cooperative-purchasing vehicles, or local vendor relationships rather than through formal competitive solicitations.
