NIGP 16056: Saws, Butchers', Hand

NIGP 16056 Saws, Butchers', Hand is an Item code encompassing hand saws and related cutting tools that state and local governments procure for maintenance, operations, and general-purpose work across county and municipal departments. The code sees activity primarily through county purchasing offices and municipal departments soliciting multipurpose hand-tool bundles via ITB and RFQ processes, where butchers' saws typically appear as line items within broader tool kits rather than as standalone procurements.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 2600285 on June 2, 2026, requesting competitive sealed bids for an ongoing five-year hand-tool supply agreement estimated at $715,540.41. The scope comprises 52 line items of hand tools including pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels with exact brand-name specifications; bids were due June 23, 2026, with award to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Delivery must occur within five business days of purchase order receipt to various County warehouse locations throughout Hillsborough County, with pricing quoted free-on-board to those delivery points and annual price adjustments permitted based on CPI-U. The contract is non-exclusive and non-guaranteed minimum; the County reserves the right to terminate for convenience with 24 hours' written notice. E-Verify compliance and performance/payment bond waivers are specified. The cooperative purchasing vehicle permits use by members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms and conditions.
