UNSPSC 27121806: Hydraulic pipe bender

An hydraulic tool composed of a tripod containing the pipe bender which functions by attaching the ends to the pipe and pressing down on the center and turning.

UNSPSC 27121806 Hydraulic pipe bender, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span hand tools (pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels), law enforcement equipment, CNC training equipment, lifting-chain hooks, and miscellaneous tool and tool accessories — none of which are hydraulic pipe benders. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County), municipal procurement bureaus (City of Dallas), a school district (Polk County Schools), a water utility (Eastern Municipal Water District), and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle. The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, and multi-state cooperative participation through Sourcewell, but the opportunities themselves do not reflect actual demand for the commodity code's titular product.

The code exhibits a material mismatch between its name and what state and local governments are actually buying under it. Recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB 2600285 for hand tools with a five-year estimated value of $715,540.41 (due June 23, 2026); City of Dallas BL26-00029896 for a sixty-month hand and power tools master agreement (due April 24, 2026); Eastern Municipal Water District RFB 3911 for inventory tools and tool accessories with a five-year term (due April 16, 2026); Gwinnett County's IWQ 128183 for large hooks for lifting chains (due April 3, 2026); and Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima County in Washington (due June 16, 2026). No recent solicitation explicitly names hydraulic pipe benders as a product or service being sought, suggesting the code may be incorrectly assigned to current opportunities or that state and local procurement for this specific commodity is currently dormant.
