UNSPSC 27112220: Tile hand saw

A tile saw is needed to cut irregular shapes etc faster than just using nippers. They generally looks a bit like a hacksaw, with a frame holding the ends of a special tile cutting blade.

UNSPSC 27112220 Tile hand saw (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The four most recent opportunities solicited concrete work and ready-mix concrete services—concrete sidewalk removal and replacement, bridge replacements, ready-mix concrete delivery, and a concrete saw for highway operations—none of which involve tile hand saws. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the product it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent records span city and county governments: the City of Madison Community Development Authority (concrete sidewalk), Orange County, Florida (bridge replacements estimated at $6,202,246.05), the City of Jackson Department of Public Works (ready-mix concrete), and Waukesha County, Wisconsin (concrete saw procurement). Geographic activity appears in Wisconsin, Florida, and Michigan, with response dates ranging from March 2026 through July 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being solicited, firms should verify coding accuracy in procurement notices before pursuing opportunities under this UNSPSC classification.
