UNSPSC 27121804: Hydraulic shears

A small hydraulic tool used to make a very precise cut in copper or steel plate.

UNSPSC 27121804 Hydraulic shears is a Commodity code that nominally covers cutting tools, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it shows little alignment with hydraulic shear equipment. The single recent opportunity on file—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00319, posted July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026—solicits consumable janitorial and operational supplies for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department on an as-needed basis, estimated at $765,679.84 for a one-year term. The supplies are routine consumables (cleaning products, paper goods, and similar items) for 47 fire stations operating around the clock; the scope bears no relation to hydraulic shears or specialized cutting equipment. Products must be new, unused, and in original packaging; bidders must be authorized distributors capable of meeting standard delivery within ten days and emergency delivery within five business days to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida.

The code shows sparse recent activity, with only one posted opportunity identified. Hillsborough County, a large Florida jurisdiction, is the sole issuing body appearing in the recent record. The mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal scope (hydraulic shears) and the actual procurement (janitorial supplies) suggests either a coding error in the county's tagging system or a data artifact; the opportunity is not a reliable signal for hydraulic shear demand in state and local procurement. Firms pursuing hydraulic shear sales to government should monitor this code's activity directly rather than relying on recent posting patterns to forecast purchasing intent.
