UNSPSC 27111709: Screw extractors

UNSPSC 27111709 Screw extractors is a Commodity code covering specialized hand tools used to remove broken or stripped fasteners from mechanical and fleet equipment. State and local procurement under this code focuses on acquisition of professional-grade mechanic tool sets and individual specialty tools for maintenance and repair operations. Recent activity shows that issuing bodies treat screw extractors and related extraction tools as components within broader master tool set procurements rather than as standalone line items. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, exemplifies the issuing-body mix: state transportation departments and higher-education institutions bundle extraction tools with comprehensive hand-tool collections, power tools, and diagnostic equipment to support fleet maintenance operations across multiple agencies and locations statewide.

The Texas Comptroller's master tool set procurement, posted June 11, 2026, with response due June 11, 2026, represents the primary recent activity under this code. The solicitation (Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1) required bidders to supply master tool sets containing minimum specifications for hand tools including 105 pullers and extraction equipment integrated into 1,152-piece collections, alongside individual tool discounts through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative vehicle. Evaluation weighted pricing at 30 points, respondent qualifications and experience at 30 points, and product quality and availability at 40 points. The contract structure offers awards to multiple vendors for different line items, with an initial term through July 31, 2027, and renewal options extending through July 31, 2030. Respondents needed minimum seven years' professional-grade mechanic tools experience within the prior ten years, capability to provide on-site repairs within 24 hours statewide, and a $500,000 commercial general liability insurance minimum. The solicitation did not specify SBE, MBE, WBE, or DBE set-asides but allowed vendors to indicate eligibility for Texas-manufactured goods preferences and service-disabled veteran ownership designations.
