UNSPSC 27112146: Swivel base vise

A type of vise that has a swivelling base attached to a set of jaws which can clamp down on various items. The jaws can be rotated with the assistance of the base.

UNSPSC 27112146 Swivel base vise is a Commodity code covering bench-mounted clamping equipment with rotating bases that state and local procurement offices source for workshop, maintenance, and fabrication operations. The code sees activity primarily from state transportation and public works departments, county maintenance facilities, municipal public works divisions, and school district vocational and technical education programs that require durable vises for metalworking, woodworking, equipment repair, and general shop operations. Swivel base vises are standard shop tools across maintenance shops, vocational training facilities, and fabrication work environments, where the rotating base allows operators to position and access workpieces from multiple angles without repositioning the vise itself or the workpiece.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under this code, limiting visibility into current issuing-body concentration, geographic distribution, and representative solicitations. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs naming this code, the activity level and buyer profile for swivel base vises in state and local procurement remain unclear. If pursuing opportunities under UNSPSC 27112146, monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and state procurement portals for individual requisitions from public works and education agencies, as bench tool procurement often appears as smaller line-item buys rather than standalone solicitations.
