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 is a Commodity code representing abrasive hand tools and finishing implements that state and local governments buy for maintenance, operations, and facility support. The recent solicitations under this code show state and local procurement bodies purchasing hand tools broadly — including lapping files, abrading implements, and related hand tool inventory — typically as part of larger consolidated purchasing contracts for maintenance supplies, fleet operations, and building upkeep. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, county boards of commissioners, state health and human services agencies, and state transportation departments. Texas agencies dominate the recent activity, particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (acquiring on behalf of TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system). City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County, Florida also appear as repeat buyers. The work encompasses consumable hand tool inventory management, as-needed supply contracts, and master tool set procurement with multiple line items specified by brand and model number.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas and Florida. The City of Augusta issued ITB 27-001 for an annual hand tools supply contract with 39 line items due September 29, 2026, covering hammers, axes, saws, files, and related implements with a one-year term and four optional renewals. Hillsborough County issued ITB-26-00285 for ongoing hand tool purchases across 52 line items with an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41, response due June 23, 2026, and ITB-26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies (estimated $765,679.84) due July 24, 2026. The Texas Comptroller's Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 procured master tool sets and individual tools through Texas SmartBuy for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions, with responses due June 11, 2026. HHSC issued multiple IFBs for maintenance tools and supplies at state-supported facilities including Rusk State Hospital (HHS0017441, due June 29, 2026) and Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017791, due August 11, 2026), each with estimated contract values up to $50,000 and one-year terms.
