UNSPSC 27112735: Scroll saw

A small electric or pedal operated saw useful for cutting intricate curves where a jigsaw or coping saw is not appropriate. It is capable of creating curves with edges. It is somewhat similar to a band saw, but unlike band saws, in which the saw blade is a continuous loop, scroll saws use saw blades similar to those used by coping saws and operate through a quick reciprocating up and down motion.

UNSPSC 27112735 Scroll saw is a Commodity code that covers powered cutting tools for woodworking and general construction use; state and local governments procure scroll saws primarily through consolidated purchasing agreements bundled with broader hand-tool and tool inventory. Recent solicitation activity shows the code embedded within larger hand-tool contracts rather than as a standalone item. Issuing bodies are predominantly county and municipal procurement offices managing maintenance, facilities, and operations budgets across multiple departments and work locations. The scope of work includes scroll saws as line items within competitive sealed bids for mixed hand-tool inventories—alongside pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and allied implements—where specifications are typically brand-name or equivalent, delivery windows are compressed (often five business days), and pricing is quoted free-on-board to multiple warehouse and operational sites.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB 26-00285 in June 2026, a five-year hand-tool supply contract valued at $715,540.41 with a June 23, 2026 response deadline, including scroll saws among 52 line items of branded hand tools and accessories. Scroll saws appear with low frequency in state and local procurement databases outside consolidated tool agreements, reflecting their specialized role in maintenance and facilities work. The Florida county's approach—bundling scroll saws with general hand tools, requiring single-bidder award across all items, permitting CPI-U price adjustments, and reserving the right to contract with multiple vendors—is representative of how municipalities manage tool inventory at scale. Geographic concentration of recent scroll-saw activity is limited; the code shows modest procurement velocity overall, with opportunities typically driven by facilities maintenance and capital improvement cycles rather than sustained demand.
