UNSPSC 27112231: Step tool

A tool for inserting and removing rod-type steps. It is used in concrete work and forestry.

UNSPSC 27112231 Step tool is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with actual procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the dataset are tagged under this code but describe concrete construction materials (precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts for utility infrastructure), asphalt and concrete patching, concrete sidewalk replacement, bridge replacements, janitorial supplies, and ready-mix concrete delivery—none of which represents hand tools or step tools. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this Commodity code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The opportunities identified span utility authorities, cities, and counties in Florida, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) in Florida appears twice with parallel solicitations for precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts (AR26033JG, cancelled July 1, 2026, and AR26050JG with bids due August 11, 2026), both on an as-needed, fixed-price basis over five-year terms. Additional concrete-related work includes the City of Phoenix's utility cuts and asphalt and concrete patches (due September 25, 2026) and the City of Madison's concrete sidewalk replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (due July 17, 2026). The dataset does not support a coherent picture of step-tool procurement under this code.
