UNSPSC 27112011: Tool handles

UNSPSC 27112011 Tool handles (Commodity) captures lifting and rigging hardware that state and local governments procure for water, facilities, and infrastructure operations. The code sees limited recent activity but surfaces genuine demand: Gwinnett County's Department of Financial Services recently issued an Informal Written Quotation for 125 Gunnebo Industries Sling Hooks (model EGKN-10-10) or approved equivalents for use by the Department of Water Resources. The work involves supply of engineered lifting components—not generic tool handles—that meet specified load and attachment standards for chains and rigging systems. Issuing bodies under this code include county departments of purchasing and water resources, which treat these purchases as routine operational procurements with straightforward quotation cycles and fixed quantities rather than broad scope competitions.

Recent activity centers in Georgia. The Gwinnett County quotation, posted April 1, 2026 with a response deadline of April 3, 2026, required delivery to the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center Warehouse in Buford by Friday business hours, FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in unit price. Vendors were obligated to supply three project references of similar size and scope, a Certification of Non-Collusion statement, and a valid Gwinnett County occupation tax certificate for unincorporated-area offices; the County reserved the right to request samples at vendor expense within five business days to verify equivalency. No set-aside designations, bid bonds, or performance bonds applied. The procurement specified a ninety-day completion window and explicitly prohibited firms on the Gwinnett County ineligible source list and any debarred or suspended vendors from submission.
