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, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of reciprocating saws and related handheld cutting tools. In recent state and local solicitations, this code appears as part of broader hand-tool purchasing vehicles where reciprocating saws are bundled with complementary tools such as pry bars, hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, and shovels. County governments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring tools for maintenance and facility operations on an ongoing, as-needed basis. Awards go to single responsive and responsible bidders on a competitive sealed-bid basis, with no minimum purchase guarantees and the explicit right to contract with multiple vendors concurrently.
