NIGP 93641: Hand Tools, Non-Powered, All Kinds, Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93641 Hand Tools, Non-Powered, All Kinds, Maintenance and Repair is an Item code under which state and local governments procure miscellaneous hand tools and related accessories for operational maintenance, inventory replenishment, and specialized inspection work. The recent opportunities block shows a mix of direct tools procurement and tools as components within larger equipment or service contracts. The City of Philadelphia issued an RFQ for inspection supplies (micro purchase, due May 27, 2026) capped at $40,000 firm-limit pricing; the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in Riverside County, California posted an RFB for inventory tools and tool accessories (due April 16, 2026) with an estimated five-year contract term and annual price increases capped at three percent; and Seminole County, Florida solicited on and off-road heavy equipment maintenance, repairs, and parts (RFP, due September 3, 2025) requiring contractors to furnish all necessary tools and materials. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, special-purpose water districts, and county governments; school districts and municipal fire departments also appear in related solicitations. Work scopes range from commodity-level tool inventory restocking to specialized inspection and diagnostic tools bundled within broader maintenance and repair contracts.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Polk County Schools, Seminole County), California (EMWD, Riverside County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), and Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia). The EMWD procurement represents the largest structured opportunity, with a five-year term, on-time delivery performance standards (80 percent minimum), and firm fixed pricing for year one. The City of Philadelphia's micro purchase and EMWD's RFB are the most representative recent solicitations for direct tools procurement; both require electronic bid submission and specify FOB Destination delivery with performance bonuses or penalties. Smaller jurisdictions favor single-award competitive bids, while larger water districts and counties structure multi-year contracts with price escalation provisions tied to CPI or documented cost increases.
