UNSPSC 27112216: Tile scribe

A tool used to score the glazed surface of tiles so that they can be broken along the scribe line.A Scribe needs to be used against a straight edge to ensure that the scribe mark is straight.

UNSPSC 27112216 Tile scribe (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted across the code span janitorial supplies, concrete sidewalk replacement, emergency bridge replacement, ready-mix concrete delivery, pedestrian sidewalk improvements, and a concrete saw purchase — none of which involve tile scribes or tile-cutting tools. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to these solicitations or the commodity itself sees minimal acquisition activity in state and local markets.

Without representative recent opportunities in the true scope of the code, geographic concentration and issuing-body characterization cannot be reliably drawn. Waukesha County, Wisconsin; Hillsborough County, Florida; Orange County, Florida; the City of Jackson, Michigan; the City of Madison, Wisconsin; and the City of Fairburn, Georgia appear across the recent notices, but none of these are soliciting tile scribes. If tile scribe procurement exists in state and local government, it is not currently visible in active bid listings.
