UNSPSC 27111958: Hand lapper

A hand tool used in processing surface smoothly by rolling with exertion of pressure after having applied lapping compound on the surface of object to be processed.

UNSPSC 27111958 Hand lapper, a Commodity code, covers hand-operated abrasive tools used for finishing, smoothing, and polishing surfaces in maintenance and manufacturing contexts. State and local governments procure hand lappers as part of broader consumable and operational supply contracts for facilities maintenance, fleet operations, and equipment servicing. Recent solicitations show hand lappers bundled within larger tool and supply packages rather than as standalone line items, reflecting how purchasing offices structure ongoing maintenance inventories.

State procurement offices, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose water and utility districts represent the primary issuing bodies. Hillsborough County in Florida has posted multiple tool-related solicitations in 2026, including a five-year hand tools ITB (ITB-26-00285, due June 23, 2026, estimated value $715,540.41) and a one-year janitorial and operational supplies ITB (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84), both of which likely encompass abrasive finishing tools alongside conventional hand tools. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for HVAC and plumbing parts and tools (HHS0017441, due June 29, 2026, estimated value up to $40,000) for Rusk State Hospital. The City of Dallas solicited a sixty-month master agreement for hand and power tools and supplies (BL26-00029896, due April 24, 2026), and the Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County issued an RFB for inventory tools and tool accessories (RFB 3911, due April 16, 2026, five-year term). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in California and Georgia. The code shows real procurement activity, though hand lappers specifically remain subordinate line items within larger tool supply contracts rather than driving standalone bids.
