UNSPSC 27111919: Bastard cut file

A type of file based on tooth configuration. A file's teeth can range from rough, coarse and bastard (meaning intermediate) to second-cut, smooth and dead smooth.

UNSPSC 27111919 Bastard cut file, a Commodity code, describes hand files with a medium-grade tooth pattern used in manual finishing, shaping, and deburring of metal, wood, and composite materials across maintenance, fabrication, and repair operations in state and local government facilities. State and local procurement offices purchase these files as consumable shop supplies for facilities maintenance departments, public works operations, transit agency maintenance shops, and school district vocational and maintenance programs. The files are typically bought in bulk through general supply contracts or facilities maintenance agreements rather than as standalone specialty items, often bundled with other hand tools and abrasives.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. The code appears to see minimal standalone procurement activity in the posted opportunities landscape, suggesting that bastard cut files are procured either as part of broader facilities or janitorial supply contracts listed under higher-tier codes, through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, or as routine consumable replenishment orders below the threshold for formal RFP or IFB notice. Without visibility into recent solicitations, meaningful characterization of issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative recent opportunities is not supported.
