s/accesorios

English translation: on [or re] accessories

Spanish term or phrase: s/accesorios
This is taken from a list of total items from a budget for a tender for work at a power plant. I realize that s/ is usually "sin" but in this case it doesn't seem to apply.

The context is as follows:

IMPREVISTOS

S/ACCESORIOS, HERRAMIENTAS Y
MANO DE OBRA (15%) US$ XXX

There are a number of this type of sentence on the list. I have put "without" but it doesn't make sense to me. Is there anyone who can shed some light on this?

I hope I have explained myself :)
