UNSPSC 23153701: Pulse tool

A pulse tool combines the speed of an impact with the repeatability of a shut-off nutrunner. Shut-off pulse tools take speed and low torque reaction and add advanced automatic shut-off mechanisms to take the operator and the guesswork out of the fastening equation.

UNSPSC 23153701 Pulse tool is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure hand-held or portable percussion or impact tools used in law enforcement, maintenance, and industrial settings. Recent solicitations show the code being used primarily for law enforcement equipment procurement, though the opportunities block includes a tangential higher-education equipment upgrade that does not align directly with the pulse-tool scope. State and local buyers under this code include cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, and public universities. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the primary repeat issuer in the recent activity block, advertising cooperative purchasing frameworks that extend across multiple jurisdictions and entity types including county agencies, school districts, and nonprofit organizations.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, on behalf of participating entities across Washington State (Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County) and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point issued IFB 2026-STPALL-01275-RFB on March 19, 2026, for stock tank upgrades with a response deadline of April 16, 2026, requiring a mandatory pre-bid site visit on March 26, 2026. The Sourcewell solicitation represents the most decision-relevant opportunity under the code, as it targets law enforcement equipment procurement across a multi-state cooperative framework, whereas the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point opportunity involves industrial equipment upgrades tangential to pulse-tool procurement.
