UNSPSC 27111769: Oil filter wrench

A tool for removing spin-on type oil filters. These filters are smooth, cylindrical canisters with knurling on the bottom that are difficult to grip, especially when they are oily.

UNSPSC 27111769 Oil filter wrench is a Commodity code that nominally describes automotive maintenance hand tools, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies—is a consumables contract for fire rescue operations that does not include oil filter wrenches or related automotive tools. The scope covers cleaning materials, paper products, and facility supplies for 47 fire stations operating around the clock, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 over one year. The county is seeking authorized distributors capable of delivering within ten days of purchase order receipt (or five business days for emergency orders) to a centralized public safety operations facility in Tampa, Florida. All products must be new, unused, and factory-sealed; no repackaged or factory-second items are acceptable.

Hillsborough County represents the only recent documented activity under this code in the source data. The ITB closed July 24, 2026, with awards determined on a line-item, section, or overall basis at the County's discretion. No minimum purchase quantities are guaranteed, and the County reserves the right to reject all bids. The contract may be extended to other members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (automotive hand tools) and the actual solicitation (janitorial supplies) suggests either a classification error in how the opportunity was tagged or that this code sees minimal legitimate activity in state and local procurement. Firms targeting automotive maintenance tools should monitor for opportunities under related codes rather than rely on activity under 27111769.
