UNSPSC 27112726: Power rod cutter

Power tool for cutting rods of several materials (usually steel). It works by placing a rod at one end, and at the other a handle with a button. By pressing it, the machine cuts the rod in a precise way.

UNSPSC 27112726 Power rod cutter is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure hand tools and cutting implements for facilities, fleet, and emergency-response operations. Recent solicitations show that governments buy bolt cutters and other manual cutting equipment as consumable supplies for departmental use — typically in small quantities for micro purchases or as line items within larger janitorial and operational-supply contracts. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices and county commissioners' boards; the code appears to serve general-purpose purchasing across multiple municipal departments rather than specialized procurement.

The City of Philadelphia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted the recent opportunities. Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase IFB (Solicitation B2727842) for bolt cutters due September 4, 2026, requiring quotes through its PHLContracts eProcurement platform with voluntary LGBTQ and minority-certification disclosure. Hillsborough County, Florida issued an ITB (ITB2600319) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies estimated at $765,679.84, due July 24, 2026, serving 47 fire stations in the County Fire Rescue Department with standard 10-day and emergency 5-day delivery windows to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. The geographic spread is limited to recent posting activity in Pennsylvania and Florida; the source does not support characterization of activity across a wider region.
