UNSPSC 27111954: Taper shank bridge reamer

A type of heavy duty reamer designed for use in structural steel fabrication bridge work, and ship construction to line up bolt and rivet holes.

UNSPSC 27111954 Taper shank bridge reamer is a Commodity code covering specialized drilling tools, though recent state and local solicitations under this code actually procure broad hand tool assortments for fleet and facility maintenance. State and local governments buying under this code include county commissions, cities, and state transportation and procurement agencies. The actual work being solicited spans periodic supply contracts for mixed hand tools—hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, pry bars, shovels, and related implements—purchased on an as-needed basis to support maintenance operations at garages, warehouses, and public facilities. Contracts typically run one to five years with renewal or extension options, impose no minimum order requirements, and allow annual price adjustments tied to inflation indices or manufacturer catalogs. Bidders compete on specification compliance and pricing; local and small-business preferences apply where statutory thresholds are met.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and Florida. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 27-001 Hand Tools (due September 29, 2026) covering 39 line items of hand tools for annual supply, with local bidder preference and M/WBE program compliance required. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 (due June 11, 2026) on behalf of TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative vehicle, sourcing master tool sets containing over 1,100 pieces and individual hand and power tools for statewide fleet maintenance, with seven-year vendor experience required and potential for multiple awards across line items. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00285 (due June 23, 2026) for 52 line items of hand tools at an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41, awarded to a single low bidder with delivery required within five business days to county warehouse locations.
