UNSPSC 27112213: Concrete chute

A device that channels or conveys concrete or cement mixtures from the mixing chamber to the pour site.

UNSPSC 27112213 Concrete chute is a Commodity code that nominally describes concrete handling equipment; however, recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal direct alignment with the code's title. The most concrete-related opportunity tagged under this code is the City of Jackson's ready-mix concrete continuous delivery services contract (RFP 2026PUBLICWORKS021, response deadline June 18, 2026), which encompasses as-needed ready-mix design mixtures and incidentals for construction and emergency projects. Additional concrete-adjacent opportunities include the City of Madison Community Development Authority's concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (IFB 1504902026, due July 17, 2026), the City of Fairburn's Strickland Street pedestrian improvements project featuring 5-foot concrete sidewalk installation (IFB 26-012, due May 22, 2026), and Waukesha County's procurement of a concrete saw for Highway Operations (RFB 2026006, due March 5, 2026). A significant portion of recent opportunities tagged under this code are unrelated to concrete equipment or materials — notably Hillsborough County's janitorial and operational supplies solicitation (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) and Orange County's bridge replacement project (sealed bid Y26-742, due July 7, 2026) — indicating potential miscoding or category misapplication in state and local procurement systems.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, Orange County, Waukesha County), cities (Jackson, Madison, Fairburn), and county-level authorities (Madison Community Development Authority). Geographic activity spans Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and the upper Midwest. The code shows low signal-to-noise ratio for concrete chute procurement specifically; concrete-related work appears primarily in sidewalk and pedestrian improvement projects requiring general contractor services rather than specialized chute equipment. Opportunities show mixed contract values from equipment purchases under $100,000 (Waukesha County's concrete saw, Fairburn's sidewalk project) to larger service contracts ($765,679.84 for Hillsborough County's janitorial supplies, $6.2 million for Orange County's bridge replacements). No repeat buyers or concentrated procurement patterns emerge from recent activity. The code's utility for business development professionals targeting concrete handling equipment or chute-specific work appears limited based on current state and local tagging practices.
