UNSPSC 23251810: Stamping die

UNSPSC 23251810 Stamping die is a Commodity code covering hand tools, power tools, and tool sets procured by state and local governments for fleet maintenance, transportation operations, and general departmental use. Despite the code's nominal scope (stamping die), recent state and local solicitations under this code actually buy professional-grade mechanic tool sets, hand tools, and power tools in bulk or as master agreements. The issuing bodies include state procurement offices managing cooperative purchasing vehicles, county commissioners sourcing ongoing inventory, and city procurement departments establishing master supply agreements. Work under the code spans both one-time competitive sealed bids for specific hand-tool line items and indefinite-delivery agreements for tiered purchasing of hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment, with vendors required to meet minimum operating history (typically five to seven years in the professional tools business), maintain statewide or citywide delivery capability within defined timeframes, and carry manufacturer authorizations and appropriate insurance coverage.

Activity concentrates in Texas, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing a statewide cooperative-purchasing IFB (304T26445A1) due June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools serving TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy system, and the City of Dallas posting a sixty-month ID/IQ agreement (BL26-00029896) due April 24, 2026, for hand and power tools across all City Departments with local-preference eligibility. Hillsborough County, Florida issued a separate competitive sealed bid (ITB-26-00285) due June 23, 2026, for 52 line items of hand tools with an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41. The Texas and Dallas solicitations emphasize firm, all-inclusive pricing, statewide or citywide FOB delivery with rapid response times (24-hour emergency service in Dallas), ten-year warranties on tool sets, and reciprocal or local preference eligibility; the Dallas contract requires Living Wage compliance at $23.06 per hour for service contracts over $50,000.
