UNSPSC 27112749: Angle grinder

A handheld power tool used for cutting, grinding and polishing. The motor drives a geared head at a right-angle on which is mounted an abrasive disc that can be replaced when worn. Angle grinders typically have an adjustable guard and a side-handle for two-handed operation.

UNSPSC 27112749 Angle grinder, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to the tool itself. The recent opportunities block names four solicitations, but only two involve angle grinders or closely related equipment: the State of Georgia Department of Natural Resources issued two separate RFQs for a reel grinder (a specialized grinding tool for golf course maintenance) in February and March 2026. The other two opportunities — Sourcewell's cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's RFP for transit stop maintenance — were tagged with this code but do not describe angle grinder procurement in their scope documents. State and local buying under this code, where it occurs, centers on single-unit equipment purchases rather than volume procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments and their subordinate agencies; cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell may theoretically extend reach to counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities, but the recent record shows no active demand from those jurisdictions under this specific commodity.

Georgia appears to be the only state with documented recent activity under this code, with the Department of Natural Resources posting two separate reel grinder RFQs for Brazell's Creek Golf Course (due February 19, 2026, and March 30, 2026). Both were one-time purchases evaluated on a lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis, with detailed specifications contained in bid attachments and questions directed in writing to Carlethia Jones at carlethia.jones@dnr.ga.gov. No set-asides, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges were disclosed. The code does not report material recent purchasing momentum — activity is sparse and episodic, driven by equipment replacement or repair at specific facilities rather than standing demand across multiple jurisdictions.
