UNSPSC 27112838: Cutting disc

A circular tool attachment made of steel that is inserted into a rotating power tool. The attachment is a type of blade used for scorching and cutting ceramic, asphalt, marble or other materials.

UNSPSC 27112838 Cutting disc (Commodity) describes hand tools and consumable abrasive discs used for cutting, grinding, and material removal in construction, maintenance, and repair work. State and local governments procure cutting discs as part of broader operational supply contracts, facility maintenance programs, and asset-repair initiatives. The code sees activity across city public works departments, county governments, and fire rescue operations that require consumable cutting and abrasive supplies on an as-needed or standing-order basis alongside janitorial, maintenance, and operational materials.

Phoenix's Public Works Streets Division, Philadelphia's Parks and Recreation or Public Works operations (signaled by the bolt-cutter micro-purchase), and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue represent typical buying patterns. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP (P270002, due September 25, 2026) for utility cuts and asphalt and concrete patches under its Pavement Management Program, which encompasses materials and equipment for on-call repair services, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies totaling an estimated $765,679.84 over one year to support 47 fire stations. Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Arizona, with secondary opportunities in Pennsylvania. The code shows modest but recurring activity; cutting discs are typically bundled with broader consumable-supply contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items, and response dates cluster in mid-summer through early fall.
