UNSPSC 23251802: Cutting die

UNSPSC 23251802 Cutting die is a Commodity code that covers hand tools, power tools, and related supplies procured by state and local governments for fleet maintenance, public works, facilities management, and departmental operations. State and local purchasing offices solicit cutting dies and broader tool sets—including wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, saws, pry bars, and abrasive supplies—under this code, often as part of larger master tool agreements or line-item hand-tool inventories. Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions operating cooperative purchasing systems, county commissioners' offices, and city procurement departments. The recent opportunities show demand clustering around bulk tool sets for fleet and garage maintenance (with specifications for pneumatic tools, tap and die sets, and diagnostic equipment) and ongoing as-needed purchasing of standard hand tools for general departmental use.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, and the Southwest. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T26445A1 (due June 11, 2026) for master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, procuring for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 28, 2026, and evaluation weighted toward product quality and availability (40 points), pricing (30 points), and respondent qualifications (30 points); the contract runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through July 31, 2030. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00285 (due June 23, 2026) for 52 line items of hand tools with an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41, requiring five-business-day delivery to county warehouses and allowing CPI-U-based annual price adjustments. The City of Dallas issued BL26-00029896 (due April 24, 2026) for a sixty-month master agreement covering hand and power tools and supplies for all city departments, requiring manufacturer authorization letters, with local preference available for Dallas-based firms within 5 percent of the lowest bid, and mandating Living Wage compliance at $23.06 per hour for contracts over fifty thousand dollars.
