UNSPSC 27112207: Hand rammer

A cone-shaped tool always heavy and thick, fitted with a handle that is used to roll flat sand, stones, pavements or others.

UNSPSC 27112207 Hand rammer is a Commodity code that covers hand-operated compacting and tamping equipment used in small-scale construction and maintenance work. State and local governments purchase hand rammers as part of broader operational and maintenance supply contracts, though the recent opportunities show limited direct procurement of the tool itself. Instead, hand rammers appear incidentally within larger janitorial, operational supplies, and construction equipment purchases rather than as standalone line items driving dedicated solicitations.

Recent opportunities show minimal direct procurement activity targeting hand rammers specifically. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 2600319 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies to support the Fire Rescue Department across 47 stations, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 and a due date of July 24, 2026; while the solicitation encompassed a broad range of supplies, hand rammers do not appear as a named line item in the available scope. Other recent solicitations in the opportunity block—including the City of Madison's concrete sidewalk replacement, Orange County's emergency bridge replacements, the City of Jackson's ready-mix concrete delivery services, the City of Fairburn's pedestrian improvements project, and Waukesha County's concrete saw procurement—address concrete and construction work where hand rammers might be deployed, but none explicitly solicit the equipment. Waukesha County's RFB 2026006 for a concrete saw (due March 5, 2026) represents the closest procurement focus on construction equipment, but targets a powered cutting tool rather than manual compacting equipment. The code shows little active state and local procurement volume, suggesting either that hand rammers are purchased as subordinate items within larger equipment or supplies agreements, or that many jurisdictions source them through cooperative purchasing vehicles or standing state contracts not reflected in recent individualized solicitations.
