UNSPSC 27111537: Wood auger bit

Specialized bit for drilling large-diameter, deep holes in wood or thick man-made boards

UNSPSC 27111537 Wood auger bit is a Commodity code that in practice covers hand tools, power tools, and tool sets for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and general municipal use across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring auger bits and related drill bits as components within broader professional-grade mechanic tool sets and comprehensive hand-tool catalogs for warehousing, field distribution, and ongoing maintenance operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and City of Dallas all solicited under codes aligned with this category in the first half of 2026, indicating active demand at the state agency, county, and municipal levels. Master tool sets typically bundle auger bits with hundreds of related hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, punches, chisels, drill bits, and diagnostic equipment), pneumatic and electric power tools, and roll-cab storage systems for use by transportation departments, county maintenance crews, and city departments. Individual auger bits and drill bits are also procured as line items within broader hand-tool and power-tool supply agreements.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, with the largest recent solicitations from the Texas Department of Transportation (through the state cooperative purchasing system), Hillsborough County (Florida), and the City of Dallas. The Texas Comptroller issued ITB 304T-26-445A1 (master tool sets and individual tools, responses due June 11, 2026) requiring vendors to demonstrate seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, statewide 24-hour on-site repair capability, and compliance with ten-year warranties across a portfolio of hand tools, power tools, and storage solutions. Hillsborough County issued ITB 2600285 (hand tools, 52 line items, responses due June 23, 2026) for five-year ongoing and as-needed purchases with an estimated value of $715,540.41. The City of Dallas solicited under BL2600029896 (hand and power tools and supplies, sixty-month ID/IQ agreement, responses due April 24, 2026) requiring bidders to hold manufacturer authorization letters, maintain adequate inventory for rapid delivery, and accept fixed markup or discount pricing throughout the contract term, with a local preference available within 5 percent of the lowest bid for Dallas-based firms.
