UNSPSC 23251802: Cutting die

UNSPSC 23251802 Cutting die is a Commodity code covering hand tools and related implements that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, grounds keeping, construction support, and general operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code are purchasing broad assemblies of hand tools—hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, saws, pry bars, shovels, and specialized diagnostic equipment—supplied on an as-needed basis with fixed pricing and firm delivery windows. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (such as Augusta, Georgia), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles serving departments of transportation and higher education. Contracts typically run one to five years with optional renewal periods, allow annual price adjustments tied to inflation indices or manufacturer catalogs, and require delivery within five to sixty days of purchase order receipt. Bidders must meet brand-name or specification equivalency requirements and provide sample materials or specification sheets to demonstrate quality and comparability.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and Texas through three representative opportunities: the City of Augusta's ITB 27-001 Hand Tools annual contract, posted September 10, 2026 with bids due September 29, 2026, covering 39 line items with a local bidder preference for awards under $100,000; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' statewide cooperative procurement (ITB 304T-26-445A1) for master tool sets and individual tools serving TxDOT and state agencies, with responses due June 11, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00285 for hand tools, posted June 2, 2026 with bids due June 23, 2026, at an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years. Cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-year frameworks are common, and vendors must demonstrate professional-grade capability, maintain insurance coverage, and accept CPI or formula-based price adjustment mechanisms throughout the contract term.
