A type of screwdriver with multiple bits containing an expandable magnetic pick up aerial that is located within the rod. Usually there is a compartment inserted in the handle to keep the interchangeable bits.

UNSPSC 27111740 Telescoping screwdriver, a Commodity code, encompasses hand tools and related accessories that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and field work. State agencies, institutions of higher education, and other public bodies source these items individually or as part of larger master tool sets through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct solicitations. The code captures both standalone screwdrivers and their integration into comprehensive mechanic tool collections designed for garage and transportation maintenance operations.

Texas represents the primary recent activity under this code. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and institutions of higher education through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools. The procurement calls for master tool sets containing a minimum of 36 screwdrivers among 1,152 total pieces, alongside power tools, diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions for statewide distribution to state agencies and higher education institutions. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, capability to provide on-site repairs within 24 hours statewide, and maintain $500,000 in commercial general liability insurance. The CPA evaluated proposals based on pricing (30 points), respondent qualifications (30 points), and product quality and availability (40 points), with potential awards to multiple vendors. The initial contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through July 31, 2030.
