NIGP 16056: Saws, Butchers', Hand

NIGP 16056 Saws, Butchers', Hand is an Item code under which state and local governments procure hand saws and related cutting tools for operational and maintenance use. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for hand tools illustrates the actual scope: governments buy saws alongside a full range of hand implements—pry bars, hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, brooms, brushes, buckets, and shovels—as part of ongoing as-needed tool supply contracts for field operations, maintenance, and custodial work. Counties represent the primary issuing body visible in recent activity under this code.

The June 2026 Hillsborough County ITB-26-00285, due June 23, 2026, requested competitive sealed bids for hand tools across 52 line items with exact brand-name specifications, award to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years. Delivery was required within five business days of purchase order receipt to various County warehouse locations; pricing was quoted free-on-board to Hillsborough County, with annual adjustments permitted based on CPI-U. The County reserved the right to contract with other vendors for similar goods and to terminate for convenience with 24 hours' written notice. E-Verify compliance was mandatory, and bids were submitted electronically through the County's Euna Procurement system. The contract could be utilized by members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms and conditions, indicating cooperative purchasing potential. Recent activity under this code is limited to the opportunities visible in the source.
