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 is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with masonry hand tools; instead, the code's recent activity spans janitorial supplies, ready-mix concrete delivery services, concrete sidewalk construction and replacement, bridge replacements, and concrete cutting equipment. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests the code sees little relevant recent procurement activity for masonry shovels themselves. Issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Hillsborough County, Orange County, and Waukesha County in Florida and Wisconsin), cities (Madison, Jackson, and Fairburn), and county-level development authorities. The mix is diverse across geographies and jurisdictional size, with no dominant repeat buyer pattern evident in the recent opportunities.

Geographic spread includes Florida (Hillsborough County and Orange County), Wisconsin (Waukesha County and City of Jackson), Georgia (City of Fairburn), and the broader Midwest region. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026 with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the Fire Rescue Department; Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid emergency bridge replacement project (Wallington Drive Bridge and Egret Way Bridge) due July 7, 2026 with an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05; and Waukesha County's RFB for a concrete saw for Highway Operations due March 5, 2026. The code's recent activity is sparse and unrelated to its stated commodity definition, suggesting limited current market opportunity for masonry shovels specifically under this classification.
