UNSPSC 27131520: Pneumatic rod cutter

Pneumatic tool for cutting rods of several materials, usually steel.

UNSPSC 27131520 Pneumatic rod cutter is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized cutting and demolition equipment purchased by state and local governments for structural removal, site preparation, and infrastructure deconstruction work. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show municipalities and counties procuring demolition services that rely on pneumatic cutting tools as part of comprehensive site clearance and building removal projects. The issuing bodies include cities (Union City, Georgia; Conroe, Texas; Stone Mountain, Georgia; Brownsville, Texas; Marietta, Georgia; Fairburn, Georgia), counties (Orange County, Florida; Berrien County Board of Education, Georgia; White County, Georgia; Galveston County, Texas), and special-purpose districts (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.; Santa Clara County, California). Demolition and site-clearing work dominates the code's recent activity, spanning building teardown, debris removal, concrete and pavement cutting, utility disconnection, and site restoration across the full scope of municipal infrastructure projects.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Union City, Georgia's RFB-PS-26-05 for Shannon Parkway Streetscape Improvements and park demolition (due August 7, 2026), which encompasses removal of concrete, gravel, and trees; the City of Conroe, Texas's invitation for bids for demolition of an obsolete city building at 2507 N Frazier Street (due March 5, 2026) with evaluation on cost, safety, technical approach, and qualifications; Atlanta Beltline, Inc.'s competitive sealed bid for demolition services at Bennett Street, 95 Milton Avenue SE, and Murphy Crossing (due July 8, 2026) with 30% DBE participation goals and mandatory site visits; and the Berrien County Board of Education, Georgia's bid for demolition and debris removal of three buildings (due March 6, 2026). Activity is steady across Q1 through Q3 2026, with both small-scale municipal projects and larger infrastructure replacements (Orange County's $6.2 million bridge replacement, Santa Clara County's bridge and guardrail projects) driving demand for specialized demolition equipment and services.
