UNSPSC 27112823: Cutting chains

Chain saw attachments used for cutting

UNSPSC 27112823 Cutting chains is a Commodity code that captures hand tools and small implements used in cutting, including bolt cutters and related cutting devices purchased by state and local governments for operational, maintenance, and emergency-response functions. State and local procurement offices buy cutting chains and related cutting implements as consumable supplies for fire departments, public works operations, facilities maintenance, and general government use. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city procurement offices, county boards of commissioners, and special-purpose fire rescue departments. These entities typically procure cutting chains as micro purchases or as line items within larger consumable-supplies contracts rather than as standalone major procurements.
