UNSPSC 27131525: Pneumatic shears

A small pneumatic tool used to make a very precise cut in copper or steel plates.

UNSPSC 27131525 Pneumatic shears, a Commodity code, covers specialized cutting and shearing equipment that state and local governments procure primarily as components of larger construction and demolition projects rather than as standalone tools. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement of pneumatic shears as a discrete line item; instead, the code appears in opportunities where demolition, site clearing, and infrastructure removal dominate the scope. Issuing bodies acquiring work under this code include cities (Union City, Georgia; Brownsville, Texas; Conroe, Texas; Marietta, Georgia; Fairburn, Georgia), counties (Orange County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California; Galveston County, Texas; Brevard County, Florida), special-purpose districts (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.), and school districts (Berrien County Board of Education, Georgia). These jurisdictions treat pneumatic shears as embedded equipment within demolition, roadway, and infrastructure rehabilitation contracts rather than as primary procurement targets, reflecting the code's actual market positioning as a subordinate tool specification rather than a standalone commodity.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Union City, Marietta, Fairburn, Atlanta, Berrien County, Stone Mountain), Florida (Orange County, Brevard County), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (Brownsville, Galveston, Conroe), with Georgia and California showing the highest recent activity driven by infrastructure and demolition projects. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Union City, Georgia's RFB-PS-26-05 for Shannon Parkway Streetscape Improvements and Park Phase 1 Demolition, posted July 8, 2026 with bids due August 7, 2026, which encompasses tree removal and concrete demolition across 1.1 miles of roadway; the City of Brownsville, Texas's ITB 26-085 term contract for as-needed building demolition services, posted June 20, 2026 with proposals due July 29, 2026; and the Berrien County Board of Education's demolition and debris removal project, posted February 11, 2026 with bids due March 6, 2026. These opportunities signal that pneumatic shears demand is episodic and embedded within larger infrastructure projects rather than characterized by sustained standalone procurement activity.
