UNSPSC 27111751: Tap spanner or basin wrench

A type of wrench designed to tighten basin and bath tap backnuts in the often restricted space under the basin/bath where an ordinary spanner would have insufficient turning space.

UNSPSC 27111751 Tap spanner or basin wrench is a Commodity code that covers hand tools for plumbing and fixture maintenance, yet the only recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code shows minimal direct relevance to the category's nominal scope. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies — an as-needed contract for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department covering 47 fire stations. The supplies solicited are broad-spectrum consumables in original packaging for daily operations, not specialized plumbing hand tools. The $765,679.84 one-year contract reflects the scale of operational spend across a large county fire service, but the opportunity does not indicate that tap spanners or basin wrenches form a material part of the line items sought.

The code shows limited recent activity under its stated scope of plumbing hand tools in state and local procurement. The single posted opportunity from Hillsborough County, Florida represents janitorial and facility maintenance supplies rather than specialized plumbing tool procurement. No other recent opportunities appear in the available record. Bidders evaluating this code should recognize that it sees sparse dedicated solicitation activity at the state and local level; opportunities tagged to this Commodity are likely to be embedded as line items within broader facilities maintenance or janitorial contracts rather than standalone plumbing tool RFPs or IFBs.
