UNSPSC 27131523: Pneumatic rammer

A pneumatic tool thin and large with interchangeable rubber or metal cleats used to roll flat sand, concrete and other materials. Capable of delivering 600 to 1800 impacts per minute.

UNSPSC 27131523 Pneumatic rammer is a Commodity code that does not appear to match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged with this code encompass building demolition, streetscape and roadway improvements, bridge replacement, dumpster enclosure design-build, water treatment plant upgrades, and roundabout construction—none of which involve pneumatic rammers or similar compaction equipment. The disconnect suggests either a data-entry error in the sourcing system or a mislabeling of opportunities at the code level. Issuing bodies across the sample include municipal public works departments (cities of Marietta and Union City, Georgia; Philadelphia; Brownsville, Texas; and Santa Clara County, California), a county transportation authority (Orange County, Florida), and a regional redevelopment nonprofit (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.). The opportunities span design-build contracts, sealed competitive bids, and as-needed term contracts for construction and demolition services.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with scattered activity in Texas and California. Representative opportunities include the City of Marietta's dumpster enclosure design-build (RFP due October 22, 2026), the City of Philadelphia's micro purchase for jackhammers (RFQ due August 20, 2026), the City of Union City's streetscape improvements and park demolition (IFB due August 7, 2026), Orange County, Florida's bridge replacement project Y26-742 estimated at $6,202,246.05 (IFB due July 7, 2026), Atlanta Beltline's three-project demolition solicitation with a 30% DBE participation goal (sealed bids due July 8, 2026), and the City of Lavonia's water treatment plant improvements (sealed competitive bid due May 26, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the code description and the opportunities tagged to it, this code shows little relevant recent activity for pneumatic rammer procurement.
