UNSPSC 27112827: Magnetizer demagnetizer devices

UNSPSC 27112827 Magnetizer demagnetizer devices is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect magnetizer or demagnetizer procurement. Instead, the code shows activity centered on hand tools, maintenance supplies, HVAC and plumbing parts, janitorial supplies, outdoor circuit breakers, and woodshop supplies — none of which align with the nominal scope of magnetizing or demagnetizing equipment. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source records or a systematic tagging error within the issuing bodies' procurement systems. State and local governments are soliciting these broader maintenance, repair, and operations supplies through multiple issuing bodies including county commissions, state health and human services agencies, transit and utility authorities, and municipalities, typically via ITB, IFB, and RFP notices with five to ten business day response windows and estimated annual contract values ranging from $40,000 to $765,679.84.

Recent opportunities originate primarily in Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for blanket maintenance and supply contracts at state-operated facilities (Rusk State Hospital, Mexia State Supported Living Center, and general woodshop supplies), while the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts has issued a SmartBuy cooperative procurement for master tool sets and individual tools for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida has solicited hand tools (ITB-26-00285, $715,540.41 estimated value over five years, due June 23, 2026) and janitorial supplies (ITB-26-00319, $765,679.84 estimated value, due July 24, 2026) for county operations and fire rescue. The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited hand tools under ITB 27-001 due September 29, 2026, and Lubbock Power & Light in Texas issued an RFP for outdoor circuit breakers due September 24, 2026. The actual goods being procured under this code—shovels, hammers, wrenches, pliers, extension cords, fasteners, and other hand and maintenance tools—bear no relationship to magnetizing or demagnetizing equipment, indicating the code carries minimal relevant activity for vendors in the magnetic device space.
