UNSPSC 27112812: Countersinks

UNSPSC 27112812 Countersinks is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect the code's nominal scope. The posted solicitations include press brakes, CNC equipment, machine shop and welding gear, composting equipment parts, Cincinnati Shear machine components, a water-table plasma cutter, ironworker staffing, and law enforcement equipment — none of which are countersinks or drilling accessories. The mismatch suggests either persistent miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that countersinks are minor line items within broader equipment or parts contracts that the summary descriptions do not isolate. State and local governments do buy machine tooling, fabrication equipment, and OEM replacement parts through ITBs and RFPs, but the available data shows no direct procurement activity for countersinks as a standalone product or service line.

Texas A&M University System dominates recent activity under this code designation, posting multiple ITBs for press brakes, CNC equipment, and machine shop gear between June and October 2026, with responses routed through the AggieBid platform and directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu. Texas Department of Transportation and the State of California each posted equipment and parts solicitations in the same window. The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas (TAMUS and TxDOT) and California, with Hillsborough County, Florida and Sourcewell (Minnesota) appearing once each. Because the code does not capture genuine countersink procurement opportunities, market positioning under 27112812 based on these records is not reliable; a search across related machine shop, fastener, or metalworking codes is warranted to identify actual demand.
