UNSPSC 27111738 Voltage tester screwdriver is a Commodity code that encompasses hand tools and diagnostic equipment for mechanical maintenance and repair work in state and local government fleets and facilities. State and local agencies purchase voltage testers and screwdrivers as individual items or as components within master tool sets for garage and fleet maintenance operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts represents a significant buyer of these tools through cooperative purchasing procurement, sourcing them alongside broader hand-tool portfolios (wrenches, pliers, hammers, drill bits) and power tools for use across multiple state agencies, departments of transportation, and higher-education institutions. Issuing bodies for this code span state procurement offices administering cooperative purchasing systems, individual state departments (transportation, maintenance, facilities), and county and municipal fleet and facilities management operations.
