UNSPSC 27112002: Spades

UNSPSC 27112002 Spades is a Commodity code covering hand tools and related implements that state and local governments procure for maintenance, operations, and field work across fire rescue, public works, and general departmental functions. The recent opportunities under this code show purchasing focused on consumable and durable hand tools acquired through both standing supply contracts and individual purchase orders to support 24/7 operational departments and city maintenance programs. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county boards of commissioners and city procurement bureaus; the geographic activity visible in recent postings centers on Florida and Pennsylvania, with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue and the City of Philadelphia as active buyers within the past four months.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, with a due date of July 24, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 over one year and no minimum purchase guarantees. The City of Philadelphia posted a hand tools micro purchase (B2626809) on April 7, 2026, with quotes due April 14, 2026, capped at $43,000 annually and awarded by line item or total, whichever serves the City's best interest. Both procurements require FOB Destination pricing, authorized distributor status or vendor certification, and standard delivery windows; neither includes mandatory set-asides, though Philadelphia encourages voluntary diversity reporting. Activity under this code appears sparse relative to broader operational supply solicitations, with hand tools frequently bundled into larger janitorial, operational, or maintenance supply contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items.
