UNSPSC 27112160: Wire twister

A type of pliers used to twist and hold wire in place and prevent loosening due to vibration. Used for binding steel reinforcements, sacks or bundles with wire.

UNSPSC 27112160 Wire twister is a Commodity code that classifies lifting hardware and rigging equipment, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal category name. The single recent opportunity on record is Gwinnett County's Department of Financial Services purchasing 125 Gunnebo Industries Sling Hooks, model EGKN-10-10, or approved equivalents for lifting chains — a product falling within material-handling rigging rather than wire-twisting equipment. The procurement was structured as an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ) with a tight response window and delivery to Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources. State and local governments using this code appear to source through individual county purchasing divisions rather than through centralized or cooperative purchasing vehicles, and the available record shows no pattern of repeat activity under this specific UNSPSC designation.

Gwinnett County, Georgia posted the sole recent opportunity on April 1, 2026, with quotes due April 3, 2026 and delivery required within ninety days. The quotation required vendors to submit minimum three project references of similar scope, a Certification of Non-Collusion, and a valid occupation tax certificate if maintaining an office in unincorporated Gwinnett County; no set-aside designations or incumbent-contractor requirements were noted. Pricing was quoted FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in unit price. The code shows little recent activity in state and local procurement databases, and the single posted opportunity does not clearly align with wire-twisting scope, suggesting either light utilization of this code for its nominal product category or potential misclassification in how this opportunity was tagged by the issuing body.
