UNSPSC 27111543: Masonry bit

As the name suggests, these are designed for drilling into brick, block, stone, quarry tiles or concrete. The cutting tip is often made from tungsten carbide bonded to a spiralled steel shaft.

UNSPSC 27111543 Masonry bit is a Commodity code tracking procurement of individual drill bits and masonry drill bits for maintenance, construction, and fleet operations. State and local governments buy masonry bits primarily as line items within broader hand-tool and power-tool master agreements, often bundled with wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, punches, chisels, and other garage and fleet maintenance tools. The issuing bodies include state procurement offices coordinating multi-agency cooperative purchasing systems, county maintenance departments, and municipal public-works and facilities operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners are recent solicitors; masonry bits appear explicitly in the Texas SmartBuy solicitation as part of master tool sets with a minimum of 29 drill bits per set.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with the most visible procurement flowing through cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-year master agreements rather than commodity-specific RFQs. The Texas Comptroller issued Invitation for Bid 304T26445A1 on June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy system serving TxDOT and state agencies, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time; this procurement runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through July 31, 2030. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00285 on June 2, 2026, for 52 line items of hand tools with a five-year, $715,540.41 estimated value and response deadline of June 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The City of Dallas solicited a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement for hand and power tools (BL26-00029896) posted March 26, 2026, with bids due April 24, 2026; this contract offers a local preference program for Dallas-based firms and requires Living Wage compliance at $23.06 per hour.
