UNSPSC 27112508: Cable bender

A hand tool used for bending cable at the time of working with various communication cable and electric power cable.

UNSPSC 27112508 Cable bender is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The three opportunities posted since April 2026 under this code—a janitorial and operational supplies ITB from Hillsborough County Fire Rescue and two hand-tool micro purchases from Philadelphia (a hammer tacker and hand tools generally)—do not align with the code's stated commodity. The solicitations span consumable janitorial items, hand tools, and fastening implements, none of which constitute cable benders or closely related equipment. State and local governments issue these opportunities through county purchasing offices and city procurement bureaus, typically on an as-needed basis with 365-day terms and delivery FOB Destination. Insurance and tax compliance requirements are standard.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida and Pennsylvania, with Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing the largest recent opportunity—an ITB for $765,679.84 in janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026—and the City of Philadelphia posting micro purchases below the $41,000 threshold in May and April 2026. The mismatch between the code label and actual procurement suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or limited genuine demand for cable benders at the state and local level. Firms seeking work in hand tools or consumable supplies should monitor Hillsborough County and Philadelphia's procurement platforms, but this code does not reliably signal cable-bender opportunities.
