UNSPSC 27111955: Round shank bridge reamer

A type of reamer designed for lining up holes in structural steel fabrication bridgework, ship construction, automotive maintenance, and railroad car manufacture.

UNSPSC 27111955 Round shank bridge reamer is a Commodity code that captures purchases of hand tools and power tools procured by state and local governments primarily for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and departmental tool supply replenishment. The code encompasses individual tools such as pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels, as well as comprehensive master tool sets containing 1,000-plus-piece collections organized in roll cabs with foam and shadow board storage for garage and fleet operations. Issuing bodies under this code include state procurement offices (the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and city governments (City of Dallas), all using master agreements and competitive sealed bids to source tools for internal departmental use and statewide or local cooperative purchasing programs. Solicitations require vendors to meet professional-grade qualification standards — typically five to seven years' operational experience in the tools business, manufacturer authorization, statewide or multi-location delivery capability within 24 hours to five business days, and insurance coverage with commercial general liability minimums of $500,000.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas and Florida, with the Texas Comptroller's statewide procurement through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system (Solicitation 304T26445A1, responses due June 11, 2026), Hillsborough County's five-year hand-tool contract estimated at $715,540.41 (ITB 26-00285, due June 23, 2026), and the City of Dallas's sixty-month master agreement for hand and power tools and supplies (BL26-00029896, due April 24, 2026). Contracts typically run three to five years with renewal or extension options and allow annual price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index for Metal and Metal Products. Award criteria emphasize pricing (often 30 percent of evaluation weight), vendor qualifications and experience (30 percent), and product quality, availability, and warranty terms (40 percent). Dallas applies a local preference allowing vendors with principal place of business in the city to be considered within 5 percent of the lowest bid on contracts under $500,000.
