UNSPSC 27111736: Insulated screwdriver

UNSPSC 27111736 Insulated screwdriver is a Commodity code for hand tools with electrical insulation properties used in maintenance and repair work. State and local governments acquire insulated screwdrivers primarily as components within larger master tool sets procured for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field service work across multiple agencies and departments. The recent Texas procurement demonstrates that purchasing offices bundle insulated screwdrivers with hundreds of other hand and power tools into comprehensive mechanic tool kits rather than sourcing them individually. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, state higher-education institutions, and statewide cooperative purchasing divisions that aggregate demand across multiple agencies. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing vehicle, represents the dominant buyer type at the state level, sourcing master tool sets containing a minimum of 36 screwdrivers (including insulated variants) alongside wrenches, pliers, punches, chisels, power tools, and diagnostic equipment for TxDOT and other state entities.

Texas shows the most recent documented activity under this code, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing Invitation for Bid No. 304T26445A1 on June 11, 2026, to procure master tool sets and individual hand tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system. The bid encompassed five line items spanning master tool sets (minimum 1,152 pieces including 36 screwdrivers), discount pricing on hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, and storage solutions, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time. Respondents were required to demonstrate a minimum of seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, statewide distribution and repair capability within 24 hours, and compliance with ten-year warranty terms. The contract structure included a base term through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options extending through July 31, 2030, plus an additional year option, though no specific contract value or budget range was disclosed.
