NIGP 44559: Saws, Hand, Portable (Powered)

NIGP 44559 Saws, Hand, Portable (Powered) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure powered hand saws, including circular saws, reciprocating saws, and similar equipment, as part of broader tool and equipment purchasing programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity primarily through catalog discount arrangements and multi-line-item competitive sealed bid processes where powered saws appear alongside hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, and other hand tools as part of departmental maintenance and operations inventory. Issuing bodies include county commissions, state departments of management services, and county facilities and operations offices seeking to establish statewide or county-wide term contracts and standing purchase agreements.

Recent opportunities span Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00285 for hand tools with response due June 23, 2026, covering 52 line items including saws priced across a five-year term estimated at $715,540.41 with delivery required within five business days to county warehouse locations. Crisp County, Georgia posted a catalog discount solicitation for industrial engineering supplies (B2711BM) due October 1, 2026, which includes powered hand saws available through negotiated pricing. The Florida Department of Management Services has also solicited agriculture and lawn equipment under ITBs posted in July and September 2026 with responses due September 1 and October 27, 2026 respectively, though these larger procurements focus primarily on mowers, tractors, and specialty equipment rather than hand tools. No state contracts currently award powered saws on an exclusive basis; counties and state agencies typically obtain them through small-tool line items within broader purchasing agreements or catalog discount vehicles.
