UNSPSC 27112718: Engravers

UNSPSC 27112718 Engravers is a Commodity code covering laser engravers and similar equipment that state and local governments purchase for in-house production and identification work. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific laser engraver models — including Xtool and Epilog Fusion Pro units — typically for facility-based operations such as police units, fire departments, and other government shops. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices and state departments, with both typically purchasing as a single unit or small quantity acquisition. The work centers on equipment procurement with associated services: vendors must provide new equipment in original packaging, freight delivery to a specified location, manufacturer warranties (commonly one to two years), and often onsite training for end users. Buyers specify exact models or allow alternatives meeting stated technical specifications, and all quotes must include delivery costs, applicable taxes (or tax exemptions where applicable), and ancillary fees such as e-waste charges.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The City of Dallas Police Department posted an IFB for an Xtool Engraver (Requisition #216536) on March 17, 2026, with bids due March 25, 2026, for delivery to its mounted unit facility; the solicitation required firm pricing for thirty days and one-year warranty coverage. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) issued RFQ PCR #25-0995 on January 28, 2026, with responses due February 12, 2026, for an Epilog Fusion Pro 48 80-watt laser engraver system including vector grid attachment, air assist pump, rotary attachment, two-year warranty, and onsite training at its San Bernardino facility; CAL FIRE extended set-aside preference to vendors certified as Small Business or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise under California Public Contract Code Section 12100. Both opportunities were quoted at unspecified budget levels, with award to the responsive, responsible, or lowest-price bidder meeting specifications.
