UNSPSC 27111700: Wrenches and drivers

UNSPSC 27111700 Wrenches and drivers is a Class code encompassing professional-grade mechanic hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field repair work. State and local purchasing offices acquire these tools through both individual agency procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles — the source shows the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and institutions of higher education. Scope of work under the code includes master tool sets with minimum 1,152 pieces (including at least 315 drive tool pieces, 197 wrenches, 36 screwdrivers, 27 pliers, 105 pullers, 31 punches and chisels, 9 hammers, and 29 drill bits), pneumatic power tools, diagnostic and specialized equipment such as tubing and flaring sets and tap and die sets, battery-powered and corded electric power tools, and roll cab storage with foam and shadow board organization. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, capability to provide statewide sales, distribution, and on-site repairs within 24 hours, and full disclosure of any tool recalls from the previous three years. All products must be new, first-class condition, latest model in current production, and include ten-year warranties covering labor, materials, and parts.

Texas represents the primary recent activity under this code, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 with a June 11, 2026 response deadline. The procurement allows multiple vendor awards across five line items (master tool sets, hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, and storage solutions), evaluated on pricing (30 points), respondent qualifications (30 points), and product quality and availability (40 points). The initial contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through July 31, 2030, plus one additional year option; a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applies to all purchases. Respondents may indicate eligibility for Texas state procurement preferences including Texas-manufactured goods, service-disabled veteran ownership, and other categories under the State of Texas Procurement and Contract Management Guide. Firms must maintain minimum commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 from carriers rated A- or better by AM Best.
