UNSPSC 24112401: Tool chest or cabinet

UNSPSC 24112401 Tool chest or cabinet is a Commodity code covering storage containers and organizational systems for tools and equipment used in field operations, maintenance, and fleet management. State and local governments procure these under the code as components within larger equipment packages for fire rescue operations, transportation maintenance fleets, and operational departments. The recent solicitations show tool chests being acquired both as integrated elements of comprehensive master tool sets (including roll cabs with foam and shadow board organization) and as standalone storage solutions accompanying hand-tool purchases. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county commissioners' offices, state transportation and procurement agencies, and special-purpose departments such as fire rescue and forestry divisions.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has been the most active recent buyer, posting two related solicitations in June and July 2026 — an ITB for hand tools (ITB-26-00285, due June 23, 2026, estimated at $715,540.41 over five years) and an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year) — both serving county fire rescue and operational departments across multiple warehouses in Hillsborough County, Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a statewide cooperative purchasing invitation (304T-26-445A1, due June 11, 2026) for master tool sets and individual tools through Texas SmartBuy, requiring respondents to provide roll cabs with tool chests featuring foam and shadow board organization, locking mechanisms, and statewide repair capability within 24 hours for use by TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions. The Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet procured a single custom aluminum Red Bag Box Type 6 Engine Storage Unit (RFB 758-2600-000599, due June 10, 2026) for the Division of Forestry, designed to mount on a specific truck model for engine equipment storage. Most recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with sporadic procurement in Kentucky and California.
