UNSPSC 24112401: Tool chest or cabinet

UNSPSC 24112401 Tool chest or cabinet, a Commodity code, covers storage solutions for hand tools and equipment that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, fire operations, and field work. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing both individual tool storage units and integrated master tool sets with organized storage components designed for garage and maintenance operations. The issuing bodies include county procurement offices, state transportation and forestry departments, and independent school districts. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners appears twice in recent activity—once soliciting hand tools with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years and again requesting janitorial and operational supplies that include storage-related items. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and the Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet represent state-level demand, with the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system offering tool sets and storage solutions to multiple state agencies and higher education institutions statewide.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, and Kentucky. The Texas Comptroller's Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1, due June 11, 2026, solicited master tool sets containing a minimum of 1,152 pieces including a roll cab with tool chest, with responses evaluated on pricing, qualifications, and product quality, and the contract spanning through July 31, 2027 with four renewal options. Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00285 for hand tools, due June 23, 2026, with an estimated value of $715,540.41 over five years, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky's RFB 758 2600000599 for a custom aluminum Red Bag Box Type 6 Engine Storage Unit, due June 10, 2026, demonstrate demand for specialized storage integrated with equipment maintenance operations. The San Mateo County RFQ 2026-00484, due May 14, 2026, and Klein ISD's RFP 26-101 for Career Technical Education resources, due June 5, 2026, show broader educational and administrative procurement touching ancillary storage needs, though the latter two represent tangential rather than primary tool-storage activity.
