UNSPSC 27112038: Garden chainsaw

A power tool ideal for heavy pruning tasks and tree felling.

UNSPSC 27112038 Garden chainsaw is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure replacement chainsaw chains, small engine maintenance and repair services, and related outdoor power equipment supplies for municipal operations. Recent opportunities show cities buying both consumable chains and comprehensive repair services for rescue and grounds-maintenance chainsaws, alongside broader outdoor power equipment programs encompassing 2-cycle and 4-cycle small engine equipment from manufacturers including Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, and Briggs & Stratton. Issuing bodies include municipal parks and public works departments, fire departments purchasing chains for rescue equipment, and city-wide service contracts supporting multiple departments. Cities award these contracts as requirements vehicles, single-award IFBs with manufacturer specifications, and multi-vendor arrangements designed to ensure adequate geographic and operational coverage.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Texas, Utah, and Minnesota. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for replacement chainsaw chains due June 30, 2026, under a $45,000 requirements contract ceiling.
