UNSPSC 27112731: Power scissors

A type of scissors that move automatically, powered by AC or battery.

UNSPSC 27112731 Power scissors, a Commodity code, encompasses hand-operated cutting tools procured by state and local governments for operational and maintenance use. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code appears under broader janitorial and operational supplies contracts where power scissors are listed as one consumable line item among many, rather than as standalone specialty procurements. Issuing bodies using this code include county governments and special-purpose districts purchasing on behalf of operational departments such as fire rescue and public safety. State and local buyers source these tools as part of routine consumable supply agreements to support 24/7 operations across distributed facilities.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, requesting competitive sealed bids for janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. The supplies support Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department operations across 47 fire stations operating continuously. The IFB requires bidders to be authorized distributors, provide new and unused products in original packaging, and deliver standard orders within 10 days or emergency orders within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. The contract awards by line item, group, or overall total net bid price at the County's discretion, with no minimum purchase guarantees. Recent activity is limited to this single posting; the code shows minimal ongoing state and local procurement volume currently.
