UNSPSC 27121703: Ferrules

UNSPSC 27121703 Ferrules (Commodity) covers hydraulic hose fittings, couplers, and associated components that state and local governments procure to support fleet maintenance, construction equipment repair, and compactor operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are acquiring ferrules and related fittings as part of broader hydraulic system repair and replacement programs—notably the City of Phoenix's mobile on-site hydraulic hose repair service contract, the City of Tampa's compactor-support spare parts procurement, and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's master agreement for Parker brand hydraulic quick-connect couplings and hose assemblies. The work spans both on-demand repair services requiring stocked inventory of common fittings and discrete supply acquisitions for planned replacements or equipment overhauls. Issuing bodies include mid-sized cities (Phoenix, Tampa, Atlanta), state transportation and equipment agencies (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, State of Ohio), and county governments (Seminole County). The City of Tampa appears twice in the recent record, indicating repeat procurement activity under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa), Arizona (Phoenix), Georgia (Atlanta), Kentucky, and Ohio, with solicitations posted between late March and mid-July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27-FSD-0353 for hydraulic hose repair and replacement services with a response due August 13, 2026, covering on-site repair and replacement of hydraulic hoses and fittings across multiple city service centers; the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet RFB for a master agreement supplying Parker brand hydraulic couplers and hoses with bids closing May 7, 2026, encompassing ten line items totaling 1,230 units across multiple sizes and pressures; and the City of Tampa RFQ 26-P-00338 for hydraulic hoses and fittings supporting compactor operations, with quotes due May 27, 2026. The code shows sustained activity across supply and services, with most opportunities structured as either as-needed repair contracts or fixed-term supply agreements with optional renewal periods.
