UNSPSC 27111728: Screwdriver set

Two or more screwdrivers of different types and sizes sold as a single unit.

UNSPSC 27111728 Screwdriver set (Commodity) covers hand tools for maintenance and repair work procured by state agencies, counties, cities, and school districts, though recent state and local activity under this code centers on larger tool-set procurements bundling screwdrivers with broader collections of hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment for fleet and facility maintenance operations. State and local jurisdictions buy screwdrivers as components within master mechanic tool sets rather than as standalone items, reflecting the operational reality that procurement offices bundle related hand tools to support garage, fleet, and maintenance shops. The issuing-body mix leans toward state-level procurement offices managing cooperative purchasing systems that serve multiple state agencies and public institutions simultaneously, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts coordinating statewide cooperative buys on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and higher-education institutions.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, closing the same date, to procure master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for use across state agencies. The master tool sets must include a minimum of 36 screwdrivers as part of a 1,152-piece collection designed for fleet and garage maintenance, with respondents required to demonstrate seven years' professional-grade mechanic tools experience, statewide 24-hour repair capability, and ten-year warranties. The solicitation permits multiple vendor awards across five line items covering hand tools, power tools (battery-powered, air-powered, and corded electric), diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions, with evaluation weighted toward product quality and availability (40 points), pricing (30 points), and respondent qualifications (30 points). The contract runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options extending through July 31, 2030, and applies a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee to all purchases. No specific contract value or budget range was disclosed.
