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 individual hand tools and small tool assortments for facilities maintenance, grounds keeping, and general repair work. Recent solicitations show procurement of shovels, posthole diggers, pitch forks, hammers, axes, rakes, brooms, files, saws, nails, gas cans, tarps, and trimmer line supplied on an as-needed basis throughout the year. Issuing bodies span city governments (both large and mid-sized), with Augusta and Philadelphia both soliciting hand tools contracts in recent months. Procurement vehicles range from annual supply contracts with fixed pricing and optional renewal periods to micro purchases with firm-limit caps, and both traditional sealed-bid ITBs and RFQs appear in the recent activity.

Recent opportunities come from Georgia and Pennsylvania. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 27-001 on September 10, 2026, requesting bids for an annual hand tools supply contract covering 39 line items with a response deadline of September 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.; the contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewals, 60-day delivery windows, and fixed pricing subject to up-to-three-percent escalation adjustments at renewal. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ for inspection supplies in May 2026 with quotes due May 27, 2026, structured as a $40,000 firm-limit contract with no extensions permitted. Both solicitations include local-bidder preferences or tax certifications, and both require bidders to submit business licenses and compliance documentation alongside price quotes.
