NIGP 44559: Saws, Hand, Portable (Powered)

NIGP 44559 Saws, Hand, Portable (Powered) is an Item code capturing state and local procurement of powered hand saws, particularly reciprocating blades and replacement components. State and local governments buy these tools and their consumables for maintenance, grounds care, construction, and fleet support across parks departments, county public works, state facilities management, and general operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span large counties and state departments; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has posted multiple procurement notices for hand tools and reciprocating saw blades, while the Florida Department of Management Services solicits equipment and tools as part of broader commodity packages for statewide use by multiple agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Hillsborough County issued an ITB for reciprocating saw blades (ITB-26-00199, due March 26, 2026, estimated value $78,367.00 over two years) specifying Milwaukee and Diablo models with no substitutions, and a broader ITB for hand tools including saws (ITB-26-00285, due June 23, 2026, estimated value $715,540.41 over five years) comprising 52 line items with brand-name specs. The Florida Department of Management Services concurrently released a statewide agriculture and lawn equipment ITB (ITB 26-25101900, due September 1, 2026) covering 20 product groups with an average annual spending baseline of $4,807,230; this broader solicitation includes powered equipment and components but reflects the larger-scale tier in which powered hand tools sit as part of equipment-intensive state contracting. Delivery windows are tight across all Florida opportunities (five to fourteen business days), and Florida-vendor preferences apply where qualified. Questions for the state ITB are due July 21, 2026.
