UNSPSC 27111767 Offset screw driver is a Commodity code that captures individual hand tools and components within larger tool sets and procurement packages for state and local maintenance and operations work. Recent state and local activity under this code centers on master tool sets and individual tools procurements for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field work. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Statewide Procurement Division is the primary issuing body represented in recent activity, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and institutions of higher education. Solicitations under this code reflect demand for professional-grade hand tools including screwdrivers as components of comprehensive master tool sets (with minimum specifications of 36 screwdrivers per set alongside wrenches, pliers, hammers, drill bits, and diagnostic equipment), as well as standalone individual tools offered at discount pricing. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools and capability to provide statewide distribution and on-site repairs within 24 hours. All products must be new, first-class condition, latest model in current production, and include ten-year warranties covering labor, materials, and parts at no charge.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 for master tool sets and individual tools with a response deadline of June 11, 2026, through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system. The procurement evaluated responses on pricing (30 points), respondent qualifications (30 points), and product quality and availability (40 points), with potential awards to multiple vendors for different line items. The contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through July 31, 2030, plus an option for one additional year. Respondents may indicate eligibility for reciprocal preferences related to Texas-manufactured goods, service-disabled veteran ownership, recycled materials, and energy efficiency per the State of Texas Procurement and Contract Management Guide. All pricing was structured as firm, all-inclusive pricing for master tool sets and firm discounts from manufacturer catalogs for individual tools, with a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applied to all purchases and annual price adjustments for master tool sets permitted after the initial term based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index for Metal and Metal Products.
