UNSPSC 27112218: Tile power saw

A specialized tool to cut tiles in straight lines. It is essential when cutting large numbers of tiles and/or thick, tough tiles (such as floor tiles).

UNSPSC 27112218 Tile power saw is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect tile-cutting work—instead, they span concrete-cutting and ready-mix concrete delivery for infrastructure repair and construction. The City of Madison Community Development Authority's concrete sidewalk replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (IFB due July 17, 2026) includes sawcutting and removal of existing concrete; Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project Y26-742 (sealed bid due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05) encompasses full bridge replacements with extensive civil, structural, and geotechnical scope; the City of Jackson's ready-mix concrete continuous delivery RFP (due June 18, 2026) provides as-needed concrete and materials for construction and emergency repair; and Waukesha County, Wisconsin's RFB #2026006 (bid due March 5, 2026) procured a single concrete saw for Highway Operations. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope (tile power saws) and what is actually being bought—concrete-related equipment and services for municipal infrastructure work rather than tile finishing. Issuing bodies include city development authorities, county transportation and public works departments, and municipalities.

Recent activity concentrates in Wisconsin, Florida, and Michigan. Waukesha County's concrete saw procurement required authorized distributors to demonstrate compliance with minimum specifications and offered two one-year renewal options; the City of Madison's sidewalk project imposed Davis-Bacon wage determination requirements, local vendor preference registration, and HUD 5370-EZ contract conditions; Orange County used electronic sealed bidding via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform with Addendum #3 Revision posted June 17, 2026; and the City of Jackson's ready-mix concrete contract required performance, payment, and maintenance bonds if the award exceeded $50,000, Section 3 employment preferences, and prevailing wage compliance tied to Community Development Block Grant funding. The code does not reflect meaningful tile power saw procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations.
