UNSPSC 27112740: Bench sander

A type of sander used not just for sanding but for shaping as well. These machines are powerful and make easy work of rapid removal of material from the work piece.

UNSPSC 27112740 Bench sander is a Commodity code that encompasses hand-held and stationary power sanders used for surface finishing and material preparation. State and local governments procure bench sanders primarily through law enforcement equipment cooperative agreements and specialized maintenance operations, where the tools support facility maintenance, infrastructure repair, and equipment servicing activities. The code sees limited direct solicitation activity; recent opportunities reflect broader procurement frameworks that include bench sanders among multiple tool and equipment categories rather than as standalone requests. Issuing bodies range from state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles to regional transit authorities and county governments, with activity driven largely through multi-jurisdictional framework agreements that aggregate demand across participating entities.

Recent activity appears concentrated in cooperative purchasing structures. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution on behalf of participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and other U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority issued RFP No. P-24-025 in February 2026 for transit stop operational maintenance across Northeast Florida (Duval, Nassau, and northern Clay counties), with an August 14, 2024 proposal deadline and a five-year contract term plus five-year renewal option; this procurement includes a 30% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goal and best-value evaluation methodology. Geographic activity remains sparse and episodic; the code does not show sustained or concentrated recent demand signals across specific states or regions.
