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 (Commodity) encompasses individual hand tools and tool sets that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field work. The recent activity under this code centers on master tool sets and individual hand tools bundled for distribution through cooperative purchasing vehicles, where state procurement offices aggregate demand across multiple agencies and institutions to achieve volume discounts and streamlined vendor management. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a representative recent IFB (Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1) seeking master tool sets containing at least 1,152 pieces, including a minimum of 36 screwdrivers alongside wrenches, pliers, punches, and hammers, alongside separate line items for individual hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment. The procurement also includes firm discount pricing on battery-powered, air-powered, and corded electric power tools and storage solutions with locking mechanisms and foam organization. Issuing bodies under this code include state procurement divisions managing cooperative purchasing systems on behalf of state departments of transportation, other state agencies, and institutions of higher education; the Texas CPA's SmartBuy system is the identified repeat buyer in recent activity.

The most recent opportunity with strong geographic and temporal clarity is the Texas Comptroller's June 2026 IFB, which closed June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time. Texas represents the primary documented recent activity under this code. The Texas CPA evaluated responses on pricing (30 points), respondent qualifications including minimum seven years' professional-grade mechanic tools experience (30 points), and product quality and availability including 24-hour statewide repair capability (40 points), with potential awards to multiple vendors across different line items. The contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options extending through July 31, 2030, plus one additional option year. Respondents could indicate eligibility for Texas preferences including service-disabled veteran ownership and Texas-manufactured goods. All products must be new, first-class condition, latest model in current production, with ten-year warranties covering labor, materials, and parts at no charge, firm FOB Destination pricing, and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applied to all purchases.
