UNSPSC 27112604: Putty bowl

A bowl designed especially for putty, made of rubber to make it flexible and easy to use.

UNSPSC 27112604 Putty bowl (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily as a component within larger facility maintenance and repair projects rather than as a standalone item. Recent opportunities show the code tagged to caulking and sealing work — exterior window and door caulking repairs at municipal buildings — where putty bowls function as application tools or consumables. The solicitations reveal that putty bowls appear in the supply chain for janitorial, maintenance, and operational consumables procured by county and municipal facilities on an as-needed basis. Issuing bodies under this code include city governments (City of Norwalk, Connecticut) and county-level operations (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida), typically for facility maintenance divisions and fire rescue departments that maintain multiple locations or stations requiring routine repair materials.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Connecticut based on recent postings. The City of Norwalk issued an IFB for exterior window and door caulking repairs at Norwalk Police Headquarters with a response deadline of August 13, 2026 (Solicitation 4526). Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies on July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year; the supplies support Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department across 47 fire stations. Putty bowls typically appear in these supply schedules at relatively low unit cost and low individual purchase frequency, indicating they are secondary line items within broader consumables contracts rather than demand drivers. The code shows limited recent solicitation volume, suggesting modest procurement activity overall at the state and local level.
