UNSPSC 27112209: Masonry shovel

A special kind of shovel adapted to the needs of masonry work. It is more resistant, has a longer blade and a heavier weight bearing handle. Constructed of steel, aluminum or plastic as well as non-sparking material. Can be pointed, round or straight. Used for digging and moving material.

UNSPSC 27112209 Masonry shovel, a Commodity code, does not match the work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. Recent postings tagged to the code involve precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts for utility infrastructure; concrete sidewalk removal and replacement; bridge replacements; and ready-mix concrete delivery — none of which center on masonry shovels or hand tools. The code shows no relevant recent activity, and the disconnect between the nominal commodity and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in the source data or an inactive classification within current state and local procurement systems.

The six recent opportunities on file span Florida counties (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Indian River County, Hillsborough County, Orange County), a Wisconsin municipality (City of Madison), and a Michigan city (City of Jackson), with posting dates from June through September 2026. Two rebid solicitations by Kissimmee Utility Authority for precast concrete products (AR26033JG due June 23, 2026, and AR26050JG due August 11, 2026) represent the largest volume of related activity; Orange County's emergency bridge replacement project (Y26-742, estimated at $6,202,246.05, due July 7, 2026) represents the highest-value opportunity. None of these solicitations explicitly reference masonry shovels or hand tools as line items or scope elements.
