UNSPSC 27111740: Telescoping screwdriver

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 is a Commodity code that captures individual hand tools and components of mechanic and maintenance tool sets procured by state and local agencies. State and local governments buy telescoping screwdrivers as standalone items and as line components in professional-grade master tool sets designed for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field service work. The buying base spans state transportation departments, state purchasing cooperatives, and institutions of higher education sourcing through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Vendors entering this code typically supply broader tool portfolios — master sets containing hundreds of hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions — rather than screwdrivers alone, and must demonstrate seven or more years of experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, statewide service and repair capability within 24 hours, and product quality assurance backed by ten-year warranties.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posted Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and institutions of higher education through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time. The IFB solicits five line items including master tool sets (minimum 1,152 pieces with at least 36 screwdrivers among extensive hand tools, pneumatic power tools, diagnostic equipment, and roll cab storage) and discounted individual hand tools and power tools, with evaluation weighted toward product quality and availability (40 points), pricing (30 points), and respondent qualifications (30 points). The initial contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through July 31, 2030, plus one additional year. Awards are available to multiple vendors by line item. The solicitation identifies no specific budget and does not name set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises but permits disclosure of Texas preference eligibility, service-disabled veteran ownership, and other preference categories under the State of Texas Procurement and Contract Management Guide.
