UNSPSC 27121700: Hydraulic hose and tube fittings

UNSPSC 27121700 Hydraulic hose and tube fittings is a Class code covering the supply of hydraulic hoses, fittings, couplers, and related replacement components, along with repair and maintenance services. State and local governments procure these items primarily to maintain and repair equipment fleets—compactors, pumps, wastewater treatment systems, heavy-duty vehicles, and construction equipment—across multiple service locations. Issuing bodies span city public works departments, county watershed management agencies, state transportation cabinets, and municipal solid waste divisions. The work includes both supply of replacement parts (hose spools, fittings of varying PSI ratings and configurations, couplings, bushings, and elbows) and onsite or mobile repair services performed on an as-needed or scheduled basis, often with same-day or two-hour response requirements and warranty provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with Atlanta, Phoenix, Springfield Massachusetts, and Tampa filing multiple solicitations. The City of Atlanta issued an IFB (MS-IFB/DPW/2609-1270096) due October 21, 2026, for hydraulic cylinders, pumps, hoses, and repair services with onsite and mobile capability across multiple locations. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department solicited sealed offers (IFB 27-FSD-0353) for hydraulic hose repair and replacement services at multiple service centers and aviation facilities, with a three-year initial term commencing on or about November 1, 2026, and two one-year renewal options. The City of Springfield, Massachusetts, requested bids (IFB 27-014) for hydraulic hose, tubing, fittings, and cutting edges for an Aeroquip Crimp Machine under a one-year term with two one-year renewals, with a 20% minority and women business participation goal and an estimated annual contract value not exceeding $200,000. The State of Ohio, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and Fulton County Department of Watershed Management also posted quotation requests for hydraulic hoses and fittings in recent months.
