NIGP 44526: Drills, Hand, Non-Powered: Braces, etc.

NIGP 44526 Drills, Hand, Non-Powered: Braces, Etc. is an Item code that encompasses hand tools and related implements purchased by state and local governments for maintenance, operations, and general workforce use. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures a wide range of manual hand tools including pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels — commodities typically requisitioned on an ongoing, as-needed basis by county and municipal operations. Counties and city governments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring these tools through competitive sealed bids (ITB) for multi-year blanket supply agreements that serve their maintenance crews, facilities teams, and field operations across multiple warehouse and distribution points.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida, posted the most recent opportunity on this code: ITB2600285 for hand tools, with bids due June 23, 2026, covering 52 line items of brand-name-specified hand tools under a five-year non-exclusive supply contract valued at $715,540.41. Award will be made to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder; delivery to multiple County warehouse locations must occur within five business days of purchase order receipt, with annual price adjustments permitted based on CPI-U and pricing quoted free-on-board to delivery locations. The contract is available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms and conditions. No minimum purchase is guaranteed, and the County reserves the right to contract with other vendors for similar goods and to terminate for convenience with 24 hours' written notice. E-Verify compliance and performance insurance are mandatory; performance and payment bonds are not required.
