UNSPSC 27112709: Power saws

UNSPSC 27112709 Power saws, a Commodity code, covers concrete saws and handheld cutting equipment that state and local governments procure primarily for highway maintenance, construction support, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to acquire walk-behind concrete saws for road and sidewalk work, bandsaws for correctional-facility machine shops, and woodworking equipment for educational carpentry programs — a broader scope than the code name alone suggests, reflecting demand across construction, corrections, and vocational training.

The issuing bodies span county highway departments, state corrections agencies, university systems, technical colleges, and municipal development authorities. Waukesha County, Wisconsin; the City of Madison; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Texas A&M University System; Southern Regional Technical College (Georgia); and the Technical College System of Georgia all posted opportunities in the recent window. Geographic activity clusters in Wisconsin, Texas, and Georgia, with Florida (Orange County) and additional states represented. Representative recent opportunities include Waukesha County's RFB #2026006 for a concrete saw for Highway Operations, due March 5, 2026; the City of Madison Community Development Authority's IFB for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (due July 17, 2026), which involves sawcutting and concrete removal; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitations IW252291 and IW252293 for bandsaws (both posted in early June 2026); and the Technical College System of Georgia's eRFQ for woodworking equipment to support the carpentry program at Southern Regional Technical College (due April 6, 2026). Contract values range from single-unit equipment purchases to the $6.2 million bridge-replacement project posted by Orange County, Florida, though that opportunity appears misclassified under this code. Buyers increasingly require electronic submission through proprietary portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, AggieBid, Team Georgia Marketplace) and enforce strict filing deadlines with no extensions for technical delays.
