UNSPSC 27112217: Tile cutter

A tool for cutting large numbers of tiles in straight lines. Various designs are available but the usual type incorporates a 'scribe wheel', which is pulled across the tile, and a breaking arm, which is pushed down after scribing to break the tile along the mark.

UNSPSC 27112217 Tile cutter is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect tile-cutting equipment procurement. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover concrete repair, replacement, and installation services — including concrete sidewalk removal and replacement, concrete overlays and new installations, ready-mix concrete delivery, and miscellaneous concrete and asphalt services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (tile-cutting tools) and actual buying activity suggests the code shows little relevant recent procurement aligned with its stated definition.

The four recent opportunities identified span city, county, and public-authority issuing bodies across Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an RFP for an annual requirements contract for concrete repair services (due August 20, 2026) covering concrete repairs, overlays, new installations, and polyurethane foam injection pavement leveling for the Parks, Recreation, & Culture Department. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an IFB for miscellaneous concrete and asphalt services on an as-needed basis (due August 18, 2026). The City of Madison Community Development Authority in Wisconsin solicited bids for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (due July 17, 2026), including sawcutting, excavation, subgrade preparation, and new concrete placement with ADA-compliant slopes. Orange County, Florida posted an emergency sealed-bid procurement for full bridge replacements at two locations (Wallington Drive Bridge No. 754190 and Egret Way Bridge No. 754187) with an estimated project cost of $6,202,246.05 (updated due date July 7, 2026). The City of Jackson, Michigan sought ready-mix concrete continuous delivery services for the Department of Public Works under an RFP (due June 18, 2026) with pricing across delivery fees, delivered concrete mixtures, and miscellaneous materials. Tile-cutting equipment or supplies do not appear in any of these solicitations, confirming the code assignment is a mismatch.
