UNSPSC 27110000: Hand tools

UNSPSC 27110000 Hand tools (Family) covers consumable and durable hand-operated implements that state and local governments procure for ongoing maintenance, operations, and field work across departments and facilities. Recent solicitations show procurement activity spanning brand-name specification buying (specific hammer, wrench, saw, and screwdriver models), as-needed replenishment of tool accessories and supplies, and master agreements establishing pricing for multiple departments to order from on a task basis. Issuing bodies include county commissions, city governments, and independent school districts, with repeat activity visible from Hillsborough County, Florida and Dallas, Texas. The work ranges from small, tactical purchases of reciprocating saw blades and welding supplies to larger five-year blanket purchase agreements anchoring facilities and public works operations across multiple municipal yards and county warehouses.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas (Dallas, Hillsborough County Florida), Massachusetts, and the Northeast, with notable recent solicitations including Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB-26-00285 for hand tools (52 line items, $715,540.41 estimated value over five years, bids due June 23, 2026); City of Dallas solicitation IFSDWUB1800001 for hand tools accessories and supplies (bids due June 19, 2026, delivery to two municipal yards); and City of Dallas BL26-00029896 for a sixty-month master agreement for hand and power tools and supplies (bids due April 24, 2026, electronic submission, local preference available for Dallas-based vendors within 5 percent of low bid). These procurements are primarily ITB or IFB vehicles with five to ten business day delivery standards, FOB delivery pricing, and firm fixed-price or percentage-discount structures. The code shows steady municipal and county activity but has generated no recent activity from school districts or transit authorities in the block provided.
