UNSPSC 27111718: Tap extractors

UNSPSC 27111718 Tap extractors (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the single recent state and local opportunity posted under this code is a procurement for a used tractor truck with a Cummins engine and power take-off equipment to support sewer vacuum trailer operations, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's stated product category and the work actually being solicited. State and local governments use tap extractors codes to classify specialized mechanical tools and equipment, yet the recent posting suggests that procurement systems may be applying this code inconsistently or that the code's scope in some jurisdictions encompasses heavy equipment attachments or power transmission components more broadly than the nominal definition implies. The issuing body in the available record is a municipal government (City of Pembroke Pines, Florida), which typically uses such codes when procuring infrastructure maintenance equipment.

The single recent opportunity is a City of Pembroke Pines IFB for a used tractor truck with a Cummins diesel engine, minimum 400 horsepower, tandem axle configuration, and power take-off for wet line kit attachment, posted August 20, 2026 with a response deadline of August 27, 2026. The specification called for a model year 2020–2023 vehicle with mileage not exceeding 250,000 miles, no accident history, current DOT inspection records, and a two-year Cummins engine warranty, with delivery within 60 calendar days of purchase order issuance. No contract value was disclosed. Given the sparseness of recent activity under this code and the disconnect between its nominal scope and the single available solicitation, business development professionals should monitor whether additional municipal or county solicitations for sewer infrastructure equipment, vacuum truck components, or power take-off systems appear under this code before committing resources to pursuit.
