UNSPSC 27112108: Needlenose pliers

UNSPSC 27112108 Needlenose pliers (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as a line-item component within broader janitorial, operational, and tool-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone product acquisition. State and local governments purchase needlenose pliers as part of consumable supply contracts for maintenance operations, emergency response facilities, and fleet management programs, typically bundled with related hand tools and tool sets. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state procurement offices, and state agencies procuring on behalf of multiple institutional users through cooperative purchasing vehicles.
