UNSPSC 27112747: Reciprocating saw

A type of saw in which the cutting action is achieved through a push and pull reciprocating motion of the blade. The typical style of this saw has a foot at the base of the blade, also similar to a jigsaw. The user rests this foot against the surface being cut so that the tendency of the blade to push away from or pull towards the cut as the blade travels through its cycle can be countered.

UNSPSC 27112747 Reciprocating saw is a Commodity code covering power tool blades and accessories purchased by state and local governments for maintenance, construction, and facilities operations. In practice, state and local jurisdictions buy reciprocating saw blades—both consumable replacement blades and component sets—as part of broader hand-tool and maintenance-equipment procurement. The solicitations under this code show that purchasing bodies specify exact brand and part numbers (Milwaukee and Diablo models appear in recent bids) with no substitutions permitted, reflecting the technical precision required for tool compatibility and performance. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has been the active issuing body in the recent record, posting separate ITBs for reciprocating saw blades as standalone contracts and as line items within broader hand-tool buys. The scope includes both dedicated blade procurement (targeting specific model part numbers) and opportunistic bundling with general hand tools, shovels, brooms, wrenches, and other consumables purchased on a multi-year, as-needed basis.

Hillsborough County, Florida represents the primary recent activity for this code. Two ITBs posted in early 2026 illustrate the procurement pattern: ITB 26-00199, posted March 6, 2026 with a March 26 response deadline, solicited reciprocating saw blades alone with an estimated value of $78,367.00 over two years and required delivery within five business days to designated County locations; ITB 26-00285, posted June 2, 2026 with a June 23 deadline, bundled reciprocating saws and blades within a broader hand-tool RFQ valued at $715,540.41 over five years across 52 line items. Both awards went to a single lowest responsive and responsible bidder through the County's Euna Procurement system, with delivery required to warehouse locations throughout Hillsborough County, no minimum purchase guarantees, and CPI-U annual price adjustments permitted. The contracts are available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under identical terms. No incumbent or prior-award information appears in the available documentation.
