UNSPSC 27112743: Radial arm saw

A woodworking power tool that allows for vertical movement of the saw, which is housed in the saw carriage and supported by an arm. The yoke houses the motor and the blade and allows for beveled cuts from 0 to 90 degrees.

UNSPSC 27112743 Radial arm saw is a Commodity code that captures the purchase of individual saws and cutting equipment for state and local operations, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied inconsistently to unrelated infrastructure and facilities work. The source material shows only one solicitation clearly aligned with the code's nominal scope: Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFQ in September 2026 for purchase, delivery, and installation of one sliding panel saw (Maksiwa brand) with a response deadline of October 13, 2026, with a 5% local preference for vendors with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades under the Small Business Development Program. The remaining recent opportunities in the dataset—concrete sidewalk replacement (City of Madison Community Development Authority), bridge replacement (Orange County, Florida at $6.2 million), machine shop and welding equipment (Texas A&M University System), and bandsaws for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—represent a classification mismatch rather than activity under the code's actual scope.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Texas based on the recent record, with no clear concentration across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include a county government (Palm Beach County), which represents the only decision-relevant procurement signal under this code. The mismatch between the code's name and the diversity of work being tagged under it—from facility infrastructure to detention equipment—suggests either data quality issues in the underlying procurement system or that this code is seeing limited, scattered attention in actual state and local spend. Vendors evaluating this code should treat the Palm Beach County sliding panel saw purchase as the primary reference point for typical activity, while recognizing that the code shows minimal recent real-world volume.
