UNSPSC 27121703: Ferrules

UNSPSC 27121703 Ferrules, a Commodity code, covers hydraulic hose fittings, couplers, and related coupling hardware that state and local governments procure for equipment repair, maintenance, and operational support. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing replacement hydraulic hose assemblies, quick-connect couplings, elbows, bushings, swivels, and NPT male couplings—both as standalone components and as part of integrated repair and supply contracts. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, county watershed and wastewater treatment agencies, state transportation cabinets, and municipal solid waste divisions. The work divides into two streams: as-needed supply agreements for replacement components and repair parts inventory, and mobile or onsite repair services bundled with parts provision for equipment fleets. Cities of Atlanta and Phoenix, Fulton County Department of Watershed Management, the City of Tampa, and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet appear as recent active buyers under this code.
