UNSPSC 27112105: Tweezers

UNSPSC 27112105 Tweezers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure tweezers as minor components of broader small-equipment and supplies contracts for food service and cosmetology instruction, rather than as standalone specialty tools. The code captures tweezers within larger purchasing vehicles where school districts bundle hundreds of line items—food service utensils, kitchen prep tools, protective equipment, and cleaning supplies for cafeteria operations, or cosmetology classroom equipment such as brushes, clippers, shears, and grooming tools. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and independent school districts managing operational procurement for student meal programs and vocational or career-and-technical education (CTE) programs. Tweezers appear incidentally in these multi-item catalogs rather than as the focus of dedicated solicitations.

Recent activity shows school districts in Missouri and Texas issuing broad equipment RFPs and competitive bids. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posted a Child Nutrition Services Small Equipment IFB on March 31, 2026, due April 28, 2026, covering approximately 100 line items for the 2026–2027 school year with NSF certification and USDA Buy American compliance required and preference for U.S.-manufactured goods. Donna Independent School District (Cameron County, Texas) issued RFP 011326-894 on March 21, 2026, due April 8, 2026, for cosmetology equipment and supplies under a catalog discount bid model for the 2026–2027 school year, intending to award multiple vendors. Neither solicitation explicitly features tweezers as a named line item in the summaries provided, suggesting the code may see limited direct pursuit under state and local procurement activity in the recent period.
