UNSPSC 27112032: Adze

A cutting tool differing from an axe in that the blade is set at a right angle to the handle. It is used for shaping wood.

UNSPSC 27112032 Adze, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work being procured in recent state and local opportunities tagged under this classification. The recent opportunities show no relevant adze purchases or sales — instead, the code captures solicitations for janitorial and operational supplies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), automated transit vehicles (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and hand tools broadly (City of Philadelphia). The hand-tools solicitation from Philadelphia is the only entry with nominal relevance to the code's scope, but it represents a general micro purchase covering multiple tool types rather than a focused adze procurement. The issuing bodies span county government (Hillsborough County), municipal procurement (Philadelphia), and state-led transit authority coordination (Jacksonville Transportation Authority on behalf of Florida and continental United States transit agencies). The code shows minimal or misdirected activity.

The geographic spread includes Florida (Hillsborough County, Jacksonville), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and implicit national scope under the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's state and multi-state solicitation structure. Recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies for Fire Rescue Department operations (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84), Philadelphia's hand-tools micro purchase (B2626809, due April 14, 2026, capped at $43,000), and Jacksonville Transportation Authority's P-26-009 Automated Transit Vehicle Procurement leading a multi-state procurement (sealed proposals due March 23, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the recent solicitations, this code warrants limited pursuit unless procurement records indicate systematic mislabeling that future opportunities may correct.
