UNSPSC 27111741: Interchangeable rod screwdriver

A type of screwdriver which has the capability of extracting its rod by pulling it after turning by means of a muller nut located at the end of the handle.

UNSPSC 27111741 Interchangeable rod screwdriver, a Commodity code, encompasses individual hand tools and integrated tool sets that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field work. The recent Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicitation demonstrates the actual scope: master tool sets containing 1,152+ pieces (including a minimum of 36 screwdrivers alongside wrenches, pliers, punches, chisels, hammers, and drill bits), complemented by discount pricing on hand tools, power tools across battery-powered, air-powered, and corded electric variants, diagnostic equipment, and mobile storage solutions. Issuing bodies purchasing under this code include state procurement offices managing cooperative purchasing vehicles, departments of transportation, and higher education institutions. The Texas CPA's statewide procurement framework, which extends purchasing access to other state agencies and institutions of higher education through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system, illustrates how a single jurisdiction's solicitation can aggregate demand across multiple public bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools to support TxDOT and other state agencies through the cooperative purchasing system. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of seven years' professional-grade mechanic tools experience, statewide sales and distribution capability with on-site repair within 24 hours, and full disclosure of product recalls from the prior three years. The evaluation criteria weighted product quality and availability at 40 points, pricing at 30 points, and respondent qualifications at 30 points; the contract runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options extending through July 31, 2030, plus an additional year option. Respondents may indicate eligibility for Texas preference categories including in-state manufacturing, service-disabled veteran ownership, recycled materials, and energy efficiency under the State of Texas Procurement and Contract Management Guide. All products must be new, first-class condition, latest production models, backed by ten-year warranties (or longer manufacturer warranties) covering labor, materials, and parts at no additional cost, with firm pricing and FOB Destination delivery statewide.
