UNSPSC 27112226: Tile trowel

A tool for applying adhesive in a manner similar to a notched spreader, but which is easier to use when large amounts of tiling are to be done.

UNSPSC 27112226 Tile trowel is a Commodity code covering hand tools for tile installation and finishing work that state and local procurement offices acquire for facilities maintenance, construction, and repair operations. The code captures notched and flat trowels used by maintenance crews, contractors, and facility managers to set tile, grout, and finish surfaces in restrooms, kitchens, mechanical spaces, and other areas within public buildings. State and local buyers — primarily facilities management departments within state agencies, county facilities offices, and municipal public works departments — source these tools through purchasing cooperatives, small-order RFQs, and standing supply contracts rather than formal competitive procurements.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities for this code. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB records, the geographic footprint and issuing-body concentration cannot be characterized from current procurement activity.
