UNSPSC 27111601: Mallets

UNSPSC 27111601 Mallets (Commodity) encompasses hand tools and strike implements that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for facility operations, maintenance, and departmental use. Recent solicitations show government buyers acquiring mallets as part of broader janitorial and operational supply contracts or standalone hand-tool purchases. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county procurement offices (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida) and municipal purchasing departments (City of Philadelphia), suggesting activity across both county government and city-level procurement functions. Mallets appear in these solicitations as line items within larger consumable-supply or hand-tool categories rather than as standalone commodity buys, indicating that vendors typically bundle them with complementary items to meet minimum responsiveness thresholds.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Pennsylvania based on recent postings. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB on July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies (including mallets among dozens of consumable items) valued at $765,679.84 for one year of as-needed delivery to 47 fire stations across Tampa, Florida; the County requires new, unused products in original packaging with 10-day standard and 5-day emergency delivery. The City of Philadelphia posted two separate micro purchases: a hammer tacker RFQ on May 21, 2026, due May 29, 2026 (B2627188), and a hand tools RFQ on April 7, 2026, due April 14, 2026 (B2626809), both capped at or below $43,000, awarded to lowest responsive and responsible bidders. Both Philadelphia solicitations require vendors to quote all line items to qualify for award and maintain standard liability insurance. Neither Hillsborough County nor Philadelphia guarantees minimum volumes, and all contracts require FOB Destination pricing with no surety bonds.
