UNSPSC 23251808: Pipe bending mandrel

UNSPSC 23251808 Pipe bending mandrel is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers broad categories of hand tools supplied on an as-needed basis, including shovels, posthole diggers, hammers, axes, rakes, brooms, files, saws, pry bars, wrenches, screwdrivers, and brushes with exact brand-name specifications. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal governments and county commissioners offices. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have both posted competitive sealed bids (ITB notices) for annual hand tools supply contracts in 2026, with Augusta's scope covering 39 line items and Hillsborough County's covering 52 line items. Both solicitations require sealed bids, fixed pricing with limited escalation adjustments, delivery within five to sixty days of purchase order receipt, and submission of standard compliance documentation including W-9 forms, E-Verify affidavits, and non-discrimination certifications. Local bidder preferences and M/WBE program requirements apply to the Augusta opportunity where the contract value falls below threshold amounts.

The code shows recent activity in Georgia and Florida. The City of Augusta posted an annual hand tools ITB (PE72155NONST2027000000212) with a response date of September 29, 2026, with a Local Bidders Preference program applying to bids of $100,000 or less when the lowest local qualified bidder falls within 10 percent or $10,000 (whichever is less) of the lowest non-local bidder. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted a five-year hand tools ITB (ITB2600285) with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41, a June 23, 2026 response date, and participation available through the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. A third opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 response date—appears misaligned with the pipe bending mandrel code classification and does not substantively relate to hand tools procurement.
