UNSPSC 27112111: Alligator pliers

UNSPSC 27112111 Alligator pliers (Commodity) covers hand tools and specialized pliers that state and local governments procure as components of broader janitorial, maintenance, and fleet-management supply contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show alligator pliers appearing within mixed-tool line items serving fire rescue operations, transportation departments, and other infrastructure agencies. The code reflects consumable and durable tool procurement by county governments, state transportation and procurement divisions, and coordinating agencies sourcing through cooperative purchasing vehicles, with products typically required to meet new-condition specifications, include manufacturer warranties, and arrive within defined delivery windows.
