UNSPSC 27112506: Hickeys

UNSPSC 27112506 Hickeys (Commodity) covers fastening hardware and related attachment products that state and local governments procure as components of broader building materials and operational supplies sourcing. Recent solicitations show the code functioning as part of larger consumable-supplies agreements rather than standalone hickey procurement — state purchasing offices, county facilities departments, and municipal procurement bureaus bundle hickeys with janitorial supplies, fire-rescue consumables, and general building materials under multi-year or annual agreements. The State of California sourced hickeys as part of a three-year building materials supply agreement (Solicitation RFBIS27200263, RFB format, due November 13, 2026) requiring California Certified Business Enterprise certification; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84 for one year) destined for 47 fire stations across Tampa Bay. Philadelphia municipal procurement also tagged hickey-class fasteners under micro purchases (Solicitation B2627188, RFQ format, due May 29, 2026), though the city's quotes system treats individual fastener SKUs as line items within broader consumables awards.

California and Florida show the strongest recent activity under this code, with California's multi-year materials agreement and Hillsborough County's substantial fire-rescue consumables contract representing the largest procurement volumes. Philadelphia micro purchases (under $45,000 threshold, RFQ format) and the City of Philadelphia's broader operational-supplies sourcing (Solicitation B2727674, due August 7, 2026) indicate municipal adoption of hickeys as standard consumables. The code sees no standout repeat buyer across the recent-opportunities block, but state-level materials agreements and county facilities procurement represent the steadiest demand signal. Geographic spread includes the West Coast (California), Southeast (Florida), and Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania), with no concentration in a single jurisdiction or region. Vendors should note that hickeys are rarely purchased standalone — success typically requires positioning within a broader facilities or janitorial supplies framework and compliance with state-level certifications (such as CBE in California) or municipal insurance and tax-clearance requirements.
