UNSPSC 27111542: Spur point bit

Also known as a wood or dowel bit, they have a central point and two raised spurs that help keep the bit drilling straight.

UNSPSC 27111542 Spur point bit is a Commodity code capturing individual hand tools and tool kit components procured by state and local governments for maintenance, repair, and operational use. State and local buyers source spur point bits and related drill bits as line items within broader hand-tool supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The work reflects ongoing and as-needed procurement of consumable and durable hand tools for fleet maintenance, transportation departments, municipal operations, and county facilities. Issuing bodies include county commissions, city procurement departments, and state transportation and facilities agencies. Tool supply contracts are typically bundled with dozens of other hand-tool line items—hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, shovels, saws, and related fasteners and consumables—and awarded annually or for multi-year terms on a fixed-price or escalation-clause basis. Contracts often carry local-vendor preferences, M/WBE program requirements, and cooperative-purchasing availability for downstream state agency and higher-education use.
