UNSPSC 27112843: Hand drill bit for stone

Drill bit designed specifically for drilling in stone and concrete. There are three different classifications of drill bits used for drilling into stone-soft, medium, and hard

UNSPSC 27112843 Hand drill bit for stone is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent relevance to state and local procurement activity. The two opportunities posted under this code in the recent window—a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment and a Santa Clara County ITB for pavement rehabilitation—bear no connection to hand drill bits for stone. The law enforcement equipment solicitation encompasses tactical and protective gear for police agencies, while the pavement rehabilitation project calls for asphalt overlay, concrete curb work, traffic signals, and guardrail installation. Neither opportunity contemplates stone drilling consumables or related tools, indicating a classification mismatch between the UNSPSC code assignment and the actual procurement scope.

The code shows no discernible issuing-body pattern or geographic concentration. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, is facilitating the law enforcement equipment procurement across multiple participating entities including Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and a national network of public bodies. Santa Clara County, California, is the issuing body for the pavement rehabilitation work. The absence of additional opportunities tagged to this code, combined with the clear mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted solicitations, suggests that hand drill bits for stone do not constitute an active procurement category at the state and local level, or that agencies using this code are doing so incorrectly.
