UNSPSC 27111800: Measuring and layout tools

UNSPSC 27111800 Measuring and layout tools is a Class code covering hand tools and related instruments that state and local governments procure for maintenance, construction, and general operations work. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local buyers purchasing commodity-level hand tools — pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, brushes, brooms, buckets, and shovels — typically through competitive sealed bids (ITB) for ongoing as-needed supply. County governments represent the primary issuing body under this code; the scope includes both direct procurement and cooperative purchasing access for eligible governmental members.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600285 on June 2, 2026, requesting bids on 52 line items of brand-name hand tools with a five-year estimated contract value of $715,540.41 and a response deadline of June 23, 2026. The contract calls for delivery within five business days to various County warehouse locations throughout Hillsborough County, with pricing quoted free-on-board to those delivery points. Award is made to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder on all line items; the County reserves non-exclusive rights and may contract with other vendors for similar goods. Annual price adjustments are permitted using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, and the County reserves the right to modify delivery locations or terminate for convenience with 24 hours' written notice. No minimum purchase is guaranteed. E-Verify compliance and Drug Free Workplace Certification are mandatory. The contract is available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms and conditions, extending market reach beyond the County itself.
