NIGP 44575: Stud Finder Tool

NIGP 44575 Stud Finder Tool is an Item code under which state and local governments purchase hand tools for maintenance and operational use. Recent solicitations show that activity under this code encompasses a broad range of hand tools—pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels—procured on an ongoing and as-needed basis by county governments. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is the issuing body active in the most recent opportunity, typical of county purchasing offices that consolidate tool procurement across multiple warehouse and operational sites to standardize inventory and reduce administrative overhead.

Hillsborough County, Florida posted ITB 26-00285 on June 2, 2026, with bids due June 23, 2026, for a five-year hand-tools supply contract estimated at $715,540.41. The ITB calls for 52 line items of brand-name-specified tools with five-business-day delivery to various County warehouse locations, single-award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and CPI-U-adjusted annual pricing. The contract is non-exclusive, carries no minimum-purchase guarantee, and permits the County to terminate for convenience with 24 hours' written notice. The Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council may access the contract under identical terms, expanding the customer base beyond the issuing county.
