UNSPSC 27112844: Lapping plate

A device that can be circular shape, rectangular shape or square shape made of various metallic materials. It enables easy abrasive actions with numerous narrow V shaped grooves or vertical grooves on the grinding surface.

UNSPSC 27112844 Lapping plate is a Commodity code that state and local governments source under broader hand-tools and maintenance-supplies contracts rather than as a discrete procurement item. The recent solicitation record shows no standalone demand for lapping plates; instead, the code appears in a mixed procurement environment where state and local buyers bundle hand tools, maintenance hardware, janitorial supplies, and facility-operations equipment into single-award or multi-award blanket contracts. The issuing bodies are diverse — city procurement departments (City of Augusta, Georgia), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), state transportation and purchasing authorities (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas Department of Transportation), and utility authorities (Lubbock Power & Light). These entities tag such procurements with UNSPSC codes covering the aggregate scope, and lapping plates, when present, fall under the broader taxonomy rather than generating dedicated solicitation demand.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The City of Augusta posted an annual hand-tools ITB (27-001 Hand Tools, due September 29, 2026) covering 39 line items of shovels, posthole diggers, hammers, axes, rakes, saws, and related items; Hillsborough County posted a five-year hand-tools ITB (ITB-26-00285, due June 23, 2026, estimated value $715,540.41) with 52 line items of branded hand tools and a one-year janitorial-supplies ITB (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84). Texas HHSC issued multiple IFBs for maintenance tools and supplies to state hospitals and supported living centers, including HHS0017791 (Mexia State Supported Living Center, due August 11, 2026) and HHS0017441 (Rusk State Hospital, due June 29, 2026), with estimated values up to $50,000 each. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited master tool sets and hand tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system (304T-26-445A1, due June 11, 2026) for statewide distribution to state agencies and higher education institutions. No lapping plates are explicitly named in any recent opportunity; the code assignment appears incidental to larger commodity bundling rather than indicating standalone market demand.
