UNSPSC 27121504: Industrial hydraulic press

A type of press comprised of a small area piston driven by a lever to increase the force at one end connected by small-diameter tubing to a large area piston which exerts a large force equal to the force exerted on the small piston multiplied by the ratio of the areas.

UNSPSC 27121504 Industrial hydraulic press is a Commodity code that encompasses material-handling and equipment maintenance services for hydraulic and mechanical presses used across state and local operations. Recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope; state and local buyers are instead posting opportunities for forklift and pallet jack maintenance and repair (Cobb County School District) and cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties), neither of which involves industrial hydraulic presses as a primary procurement vehicle. School districts and cooperative purchasing entities dominate the recent activity, though the law enforcement equipment RFP spans a broad multistate network including Washington, Minnesota, and numerous other jurisdictions.

Cobb County School District issued RFP Q26136 on June 25, 2026, seeking flat-rate preventative maintenance and as-needed repair services for forklifts and pallet jacks, with proposals due July 9, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit operating as a service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment on behalf of Participating Entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide, with responses due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows limited recent activity directly tied to industrial hydraulic press procurement or specification; business developers should verify whether current opportunities properly align with this commodity classification or whether the code reflects prior procurement patterns that are no longer active under state and local contract posting.
