UNSPSC 27113400: Carpentry tools

Framing and joining the timbers or woodwork of buildings and similar constructions by means of hand-tools (e.g., table saw, bench grinder, woodturning machine, band saw, drill press, miter saw, surface planer etc.).

UNSPSC 27113400 Carpentry tools is a Class code under which state and local governments procure woodworking and carpentry equipment to support instructional programs and operational needs. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring both individual machines (CNC mills and lathes, woodworking shop equipment) and integrated training solutions bundled with installation, operator training, and warranty support. The buying is driven primarily by technical colleges and school districts establishing or upgrading carpentry and machining programs; a secondary stream includes law enforcement and other public entities acquiring general equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles. One notable recent opportunity is the Technical College System of Georgia issuing an eRFQ on behalf of Southern Regional Technical College for woodworking equipment to support the Carpentry Program at the Moultrie Campus, with responses due April 6, 2026. The Polk County, Florida School Board also posted a vendor response request for a comprehensive CNC training solution including desktop and industrial equipment, tooling kits, installation, instructor training, and a two-year warranty, with responses due March 24, 2026, though that opportunity straddles machining tools and instructional services.

The code sees activity across multiple states and is solicited by state technical college systems, county school boards, and regional special districts. Georgia and Florida account for two of the three most recent opportunities; the third is a multi-state cooperative purchasing RFP issued by Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide, with responses due June 16, 2026. The geographic breadth and institutional diversity—technical colleges, K–12 school districts, and cooperative purchasing entities—suggests the code captures both dedicated carpentry and machining tool procurement and equipment bundled into broader "tools and equipment" cooperative agreements. The mix of eRFQ, RFP, and vendor response mechanisms indicates substantial variation in how issuing bodies structure and govern these purchases.
