UNSPSC 27112724: Power nibbler

A tool for cutting sheet metal with minimal distortion with a blade that moves in a linear fashion against a fixed die. Similar to shears.

UNSPSC 27112724 Power nibbler is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers specialized cutting and shaping tools, though recent activity shows the code is being applied inconsistently. The only recent solicitation under this code — Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies — does not align with power nibbler scope; the county is procuring consumable cleaning and operational items for fire stations rather than cutting equipment. The supplies must be new, unused, and in original packaging, with authorized-distributor status and chain-of-custody documentation required from bidders. Standard delivery within ten days and emergency delivery within five business days are specified, with all shipments coordinated between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. EST Monday through Friday to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida.

The estimated contract value is $765,679.84 for a one-year period with no minimum purchase guarantees and no renewal options. Hillsborough County is the only recent issuing body under this code in the available data, and the solicitation was posted July 7, 2026 with bids due July 24, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunity suggests either a tagging error or a broader interpretation of the code in Hillsborough County's classification system. No other recent state or local opportunities under UNSPSC 27112724 are documented in the source.
