UNSPSC 27112723: Power shears

A small power tool used to make a very precise cut in copper or steel plate.

UNSPSC 27112723 Power shears is a Commodity code representing cutting and shearing tools that state and local governments procure for operational and maintenance use. Recent solicitations under this code show governments buying bolt cutters and related hand tools for departmental inventory and fleet maintenance, often bundled with broader janitorial and operational supplies orders rather than procured as standalone cutting-tool contracts. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices and county commissioners' boards; neither repeat buyer appears multiple times in the recent record, indicating demand is diffuse across different municipal departments and service functions.

The code shows activity in Florida and Pennsylvania based on recent postings. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase IFB for bolt cutters (Solicitation B2727842) with bids due September 4, 2026, using its PHLContracts eProcurement platform and awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a whole or line-item basis. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida, posted an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319) with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, responding by July 24, 2026, with standard delivery within ten days of purchase order to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. Power shears and bolt cutters appear as line items within larger consumables contracts rather than as dedicated procurements, suggesting bundled purchasing is the norm and standalone tool RFPs or RFQs for this code may be infrequent.
