UNSPSC 27112603: Insertion tool

UNSPSC 27112603 Insertion tool is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement spans equipment and tools used to attach, install, or facilitate operation of mechanical systems, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The City of Pembroke Pines' August 2026 IFB for a used tractor truck equipped with a power take-off (PTO) system to support sewer vacuum trailer operations represents the primary recent activity visible under the code. This solicitation specifies a vehicle (model year 2020–2023, gross vehicle weight rating 80,000 pounds, minimum 400 horsepower Cummins diesel engine, tandem axle configuration) with detailed mechanical and inspection requirements rather than a discrete insertion tool or attachment device. The work reflects municipal utility infrastructure support — wastewater collection and pumping operations — rather than the tool-installation or fastening work the code's name suggests. Issuing-body activity under this code appears limited to individual municipalities executing specific equipment purchases for operational support.

The geographic spread and representative-opportunity profile is narrow. The single recent solicitation comes from the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida, with an IFB response deadline of August 27, 2026. Bidders must meet insurance requirements (comprehensive general liability with $1 million per-occurrence and $2 million aggregate limits, workers' compensation, and comprehensive auto liability with $1 million combined single limit) and complete registration on the city's PaymentWorks system. Delivery is required within 60 calendar days of purchase order issuance. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity; practitioners evaluating this code should note the substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the equipment-procurement work actually being tagged under it in current municipal solicitations.
