UNSPSC 27131514: Pneumatic pliers

A pneumatic tool having a pair of pivoted jaws, used for holding, bending or cutting.

UNSPSC 27131514 Pneumatic pliers, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured under this code designation. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for pneumatic hand tools or pneumatic pliers; instead, it reflects a mismatch between the code classification and actual purchasing behavior.

Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span heavy equipment and infrastructure work—including roadway and park construction, bridge replacement, building demolition, pavement maintenance, and equipment procurement. The City of Union City, Georgia (RFB-PS-26-05, due August 7, 2026) is bidding streetscape improvements and park demolition; Orange County, Florida (Y26-742, due July 7, 2026) solicited emergency bridge replacement at an estimated $6.2 million; and the City of Brownsville, Texas (26326PLNIFB, due July 29, 2026) sought on-call building demolition services. Issuing bodies include municipal governments, county transportation and public works departments, transit authorities (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.), school boards (Berrien County Board of Education), and special districts (Santa Clara County). Galveston County posted a straightforward equipment request for one new pneumatic roller (ITB 26-085, due February 26, 2026)—the only procurement explicitly naming a pneumatic-category item, yet for a compactor, not pliers. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, California, and Texas, with secondary postings in North Carolina and other states.

The code shows little relevant recent activity for pneumatic pliers as hand tools. The single equipment solicitation (Galveston's pneumatic roller) belongs to a different product family. State and local agencies procuring under this designation appear to be using a stale or incorrectly mapped taxonomy entry; business development professionals should verify whether opportunities tagged to 27131514 reflect actual demand for pneumatic pliers or whether the code itself requires remediation in state and local procurement systems.
