NIGP 67015: Hand Tools (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 67015 Hand Tools (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses the purchase of individual hand tools and related supplies that state and local governments procure for maintenance, operations, and field work across departments and facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific tools including pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, lifting hooks, and CNC machining equipment tooling kits, typically through competitive sealed bids, informal quotations, or requests for proposals. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county government purchasing divisions, municipal water districts, city procurement offices, school boards, and regional water authorities. Hillsborough County (Florida) and the Eastern Municipal Water District (California) have both issued multi-year hand-tool supply contracts; the City of Dallas is establishing a sixty-month master agreement for hand and power tools across all city departments; and the Polk County School Board (Florida) is seeking CNC training equipment with integrated tooling.

Geographic activity centers in Florida, California, Georgia, and Texas, with additional procurement from Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state jurisdictions.
