UNSPSC 27111908: Sharpening stones or tools or kits

UNSPSC 27111908 Sharpening stones or tools or kits is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect sharpening equipment; instead, they show a mismatch between the code designation and the work actually being solicited. The one substantive recent opportunity under this code is Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB for stone — aggregates and construction materials including #3, #34, and #5 stone, crushed stone base, rip-rap types, and graded aggregate base — which falls outside the nominal sharpening-tools scope entirely. The other opportunities in the data set (a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice and a Cobb County pest control services solicitation) are similarly unrelated to sharpening equipment and do not represent genuine procurement activity under this code.

Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFB No. 26-0037 on May 14, 2026, with bids due June 17, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time via DemandStar and virtual bid opening at 3:00 p.m. the same day. The contract awards to two vendors — Primary and Secondary Contractors selected as the two lowest responsive, responsible bidders — with a two-year term and options to renew for three additional twelve-month periods. Estimated monthly usage is approximately 200 tons, with delivery required F.O.B. job site within city limits within two hours of order placement when specified, though most orders are picked up at the vendor's plant by Public Works Department employees. All pricing must include freight, shipping, handling, and delivery with no additional fees beyond quoted unit prices, and contract pricing is fixed for the initial two-year term with potential escalation not to exceed five percent thereafter upon documented justification. Required insurance includes $1 million combined single limit general liability, workers' compensation per Georgia statutory requirements, $1 million automobile liability, and $1 million miscellaneous errors and omissions coverage, with Columbus Consolidated Government named as additional insured; vendors must be E-Verify registered and comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements. This code shows little activity relevant to sharpening equipment and does not warrant pursuit based on current opportunity flow.
