UNSPSC 27112103: Hand clamps

UNSPSC 27112103 Hand clamps, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of clamping devices and related fastening tools used across maintenance, construction, and operational settings. Recent activity under this code shows that state and local governments procure hand clamps as part of broader consumable and hand-tool supply contracts serving fire rescue departments, water treatment facilities, and county operations. The issuing bodies are primarily county government and municipal utilities — Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Tampa have posted opportunities in the past four months. Work solicited ranges from ongoing as-needed purchases of brand-specified hand tools bundled with other items to single-source procurement of specialized clamp-on flow measurement devices for water infrastructure.

Activity concentrates in Florida, specifically in the Tampa-Hillsborough County region. Hillsborough County posted an ITB for hand tools (ITB-26-00285) on June 2, 2026 with a June 23, 2026 response deadline, seeking competitive bids on 52 line items of hand tools including pry bars, hammers, wrenches, and saws against an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41; the County also solicited janitorial and operational supplies (ITB-26-00319) on July 7, 2026 with a July 24, 2026 deadline for $765,679.84 annual value, with delivery to 47 fire stations. The City of Tampa issued a single-source Intent for Emerson-Flexim clamps on April 10, 2026 (response due April 1, 2026) for the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility, restricting participation to authorized Emerson-Flexim distributors; CL2 Solutions was identified as the sole municipality representative for Emerson-Flexim in Florida. Both ITBs require new, unused products in original packaging, free-on-board Hillsborough County pricing, and delivery within five to ten business days; the hand-tools contract permits annual CPI-U adjustments over its five-year term.
