UNSPSC 27111737 Hand push automatic screwdriver is a Commodity code covering motorized hand-held screwdrivers supplied as part of professional-grade mechanic tool sets and individual tool catalogs procured by state and local agencies. State and local governments buy these devices primarily as components of comprehensive master tool sets designed for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field service work performed by transportation departments, public works crews, and other operational agencies. The screwdrivers are sourced through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as statewide master agreements that bundle hand tools, power tools (pneumatic, battery-powered, and corded), diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions, allowing multiple agencies and institutions to access pre-negotiated pricing and vendor performance standards. Issuing bodies include state transportation and procurement departments acting as central purchasing authorities on behalf of operational agencies, institutions of higher education, and other state entities within a single cooperative system.
