UNSPSC 22101527: Integrated tool carriers

UNSPSC 22101527 Integrated tool carriers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure hand tools, master tool sets, and storage solutions for fleet maintenance, fire rescue operations, and departmental use. The recent solicitations show a disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity: most opportunities under this code are for consumable janitorial supplies, individual hand tools, and custom storage units rather than integrated tool carriers in the strict sense. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is the standout repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for hand tools and janitorial supplies. The Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (procuring for TxDOT and other state agencies through cooperative purchasing) also appear in the record, along with the County of San Mateo.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, Texas, and Kentucky. Hillsborough County posted an ITB for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84 for one year) for 47 fire stations and an ITB for hand tools (ITB-26-00285, due June 23, 2026, estimated value $715,540.41 over five years) spanning 52 line items of named-brand tools. The Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for master tool sets and individual tools through the SmartBuy cooperative system (304T-26-445A1, due June 11, 2026), requiring bidders with minimum seven years' experience and statewide repair capability within 24 hours; the contract runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options. Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet requested bids for a custom aluminum engine storage unit (RFB-758-2600000599, due June 10, 2026) with Kentucky resident bidder preferences of 15–20 percent. The mismatch between the code label and actual buying patterns suggests that state and local procurement offices may be tagging tool-related purchases broadly under this commodity code rather than strictly to integrated carriers themselves.
