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 is a Commodity code that represents a specific hand tool, but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and does not align with the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies—shows a mismatch: the solicitation requests consumable cleaning and maintenance products for fire stations, not adzes or similar specialized tools. The janitorial supplies procurement does not reflect the hand-tool category the code nominally describes, suggesting either a cataloging error on the issuing side or incidental tagging that does not represent authentic demand for adzed implements under this code.

No substantive state and local procurement activity for adzes or equivalent cutting and shaping hand tools appears in recent opportunities. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's ITB closing July 24, 2026 at $765,679.84 estimated value is the only tagged record, and it targets consumable operational supplies—soap, cleaning agents, paper products—not tools. The code does not show evidence of active state or local procurement interest at this time.
