UNSPSC 27111616: Ball peen hammer

A type of hammer used in metalworking. (The spelling ball-pein is usual in the UK.) It is distinguished from a point-peen hammer or chisel-peen hammer by having a hemispherical peening head.

UNSPSC 27111616 Ball peen hammer is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure hand tools including hammers and related striking implements, typically as part of broader consumable supply contracts for operational and maintenance use. Recent activity shows the code appearing in janitorial and operational supply solicitations serving facilities operations and emergency responder departments, as well as in standalone hand-tools micro purchases. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners uses ball peen hammers and related consumables to support Fire Rescue operations across 47 fire stations, while the City of Philadelphia has solicited hand tools including hammer tackers as discrete line items in micro purchases. Issuing bodies are primarily county commissioners' offices and city procurement departments; no school districts, transit authorities, or state departments appear in the recent record. Work is consumable supply, quoted and delivered to specified municipal or county sites rather than custom manufacturing or specialized service.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Pennsylvania. Hillsborough County (Tampa, Florida) posted ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies on July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, covering an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year; ball peen hammers appear as one line item in a much larger supply bundle for 24/7 fire station operations. The City of Philadelphia posted two hand-tools micro purchases: B2626809 on April 7, 2026, due April 14, 2026, capped at $43,000 annually, and B2627188 on May 21, 2026, due May 29, 2026, both soliciting quotes for hand tools including hammer tackers. All three solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, electronic submission through the issuing body's procurement portal, and standard commercial insurance. The code shows limited standalone activity; ball peen hammers are rarely solicited in isolation but rather as one item within broader operational-supply contracts or hand-tools line items in municipal micro purchases.
