UNSPSC 20111615: Drifters

UNSPSC 20111615 Drifters (Commodity) describes professional-grade hand tools and tool sets that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and departmental use. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for comprehensive master tool sets containing 1,000+ pieces organized in roll cabs with foam and shadow board storage, as well as individual hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, pry bars, saws) and power tools (pneumatic, battery-powered, and corded variants) purchased on an as-needed or ongoing basis. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices managing statewide cooperative purchasing systems, county boards of commissioners, and municipal governments. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners appear as recent active buyers; the City of Dallas has also issued solicitations in this space.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller is procuring master tool sets and individual tools for TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system, with responses due June 11, 2026; Hillsborough County issued an ITB for 52 line items of hand tools with a five-year contract value of $715,540.41 and a June 23, 2026 bid deadline; and the City of Dallas posted a 60-month ID/IQ master agreement for hand and power tools and supplies with an April 24, 2026 response deadline. Respondents to the Texas Comptroller solicitation must demonstrate at least seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, provide 24-hour statewide repair capability, and carry $500,000 in commercial general liability insurance. The Dallas and Hillsborough County solicitations require five years of business operation, manufacturer authorization letters, and adequate inventory to meet delivery timelines—Dallas specifies 24-hour emergency delivery capability and a local vendor preference for firms within Dallas city limits.
