UNSPSC 27111539: Flat wood bit

Type of bit intended for power drill use only. The centre point locates the bit and the flat steel on either side cuts away the timber.

UNSPSC 27111539 Flat wood bit (Commodity) covers drill bits and related hole-forming tools that state and local governments procure as components within larger tool sets and individual hand-tool purchases for maintenance, construction, and fleet operations. The code sees activity across state agencies, counties, and municipalities soliciting master tool sets for garage and fleet maintenance, as-needed hand-tool purchasing, and standing indefinite-delivery agreements for tools and supplies. Recent opportunities show flat bits being bought as line items within comprehensive tool procurement — either as part of master mechanic tool sets (minimum 29 pieces per set in larger assemblies) or as individual commodities in general hand-tool catalogs (typically grouped with wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, saws, and shovels). Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions managing cooperative purchasing systems, county boards of commissioners, and city procurement departments.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with the most recent solicitations from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Statewide Procurement Division (IFB 304T26445A1, due June 11, 2026) for master tool sets and individual tools through Texas SmartBuy; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB ITB2600285, due June 23, 2026) for 52 line items of hand tools with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years; and the City of Dallas (BL26-00029896, due April 24, 2026) for a sixty-month indefinite-delivery master agreement covering hand and power tools and supplies across all city departments. Flat bits in these contexts are typically specified by brand and quantity within tool catalogs or master sets, rather than as standalone procurement lines. Contracts emphasize delivery timelines (24-hour emergency service in Dallas, 5 business days standard in Hillsborough County, statewide within 24 hours in Texas), firm fixed pricing or manufacturer-discount structures, and ten-year or manufacturer warranties. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are mandated in these recent opportunities, though Texas and Dallas offerings allow reciprocal preferences and local-vendor consideration.
