UNSPSC 27121803: Hydraulic clamp

A device usually block-shaped used to join, grip, support or compress mechanical or structural parts with a clamping force up to eight tons.

UNSPSC 27121803 Hydraulic clamp is a Commodity code that encompasses fastening and clamping hardware used in maintenance, operations, and construction activities. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, however, show minimal alignment with hydraulic clamps themselves; instead, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has used the code to solicit broad janitorial and hand-tool supplies—consumable items such as pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels for ongoing operational use. This mismatch suggests that the code as applied by at least this county does not reflect typical hydraulic-clamp procurement but rather serves as a catch-all classification for miscellaneous maintenance hardware and supplies. The issuing body in the recent record is a single county purchasing office acquiring these items for internal operations and maintenance departments.

Hillsborough County, Florida is the only jurisdiction represented in recent activity. Two ITBs posted in mid-2026 show the county's purchasing approach: ITB2600319, posted July 7, 2026 with response due July 24, 2026, sought janitorial and operational supplies with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for a one-year term, while ITB2600285, posted June 2, 2026 with response due June 23, 2026, sought hand tools across 52 line items with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years. Both solicitations were managed through the county's Euna Procurement system with free-on-board pricing to county delivery locations and mandatory e-verification, drug-free workplace certification, and substitute W-9 documentation. The code shows insufficient recent activity and geographic diversity to support a reliable characterization of state and local procurement patterns under UNSPSC 27121803.
