UNSPSC 27112745: Concrete saw

A powered saw (often known as a consaw or road saw) used for cutting concrete, masonry, brick, asphalt and other solid materials. Concrete saws are powered by gasoline, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, or electric motors. The significant friction generated in cutting hard substances like concrete usually requires the blades to be cooled to prolong their life and reduce dust. Blades are either abrasive or diamond tipped.

UNSPSC 27112745 Concrete saw, a Commodity code, represents a narrow slice of state and local procurement activity grounded in concrete and asphalt cutting, demolition, and surface preparation work on roadway, utility, and pedestrian infrastructure projects. State and local governments buy concrete saws primarily as embedded labor and equipment services within larger pavement rehabilitation, utility cut repair, and infrastructure replacement contracts rather than as standalone equipment purchases. Counties, cities, and special districts solicit these services on an as-needed basis to support pavement management programs, stormwater system repairs, and emergency bridge or roadway reconstruction.

Recent activity shows concrete-saw work appearing in broader infrastructure contracts issued by county transportation departments and city public works divisions across Texas, California, Georgia, and Utah. The City of Phoenix Public Works Streets Division (Solicitation P270002, due September 25, 2026) requested on-call utility cuts and asphalt and concrete patches as part of the Pavement Management Program; the County of Santa Clara Procurement Department (ITB-PRC-FY27-0066, due August 31, 2026) solicited Pavement Installation and Repair Services across county roads and pathways for an estimated $2.5 million; and the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation (IFB/CON/DOT/2604-1260182, due August 3, 2026) requested street resurfacing including milling and point repairs across 4.32 centerline miles. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services also issued a joint purchase master contract for asphalt equipment (IFB 27-416-CMS-BOSS4-B-52918, due August 12, 2026) that explicitly lists self-propelled concrete saws with 42-inch blade capacity as one equipment line. Most of these contracts are issued as ITBs or IFBs with prevailing-wage requirements and target completion within 90 to 180 calendar days.
