UNSPSC 27112106: Linemans pliers

UNSPSC 27112106 Lineman's pliers, a Commodity code, covers hand tools state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, emergency operations, and field work — though the recent solicitations tagged under this code show limited direct lineman's-plier activity and instead reflect broader tool procurement by county and state agencies. The scope spans consumable and durable hand tools, including pliers and related implements purchased as individual items, within master tool sets, or as part of janitorial and operational-supply bundles. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of transportation and maintenance departments, and state higher-education institutions through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Texas SmartBuy. The most active buyers appear to be regional county facilities (particularly in Florida) and state transportation and fleet-maintenance programs procuring through statewide cooperative systems.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Texas. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB on July 7, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (due July 24, 2026) with an estimated value of $765,679.84 for its Fire Rescue Department across 47 stations, delivered to Tampa. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026 (due the same day), for master tool sets and individual tools including pliers, wrenches, and power tools for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions through cooperative purchasing, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time. The Texas solicitation specifies a minimum of 27 pliers within master tool sets, references professional-grade brands such as Snap-on Tools and Mac Tools, requires vendor capability for statewide delivery and 24-hour on-site repair, and runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through 2030. FOB Destination pricing, ten-year warranties, and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee apply to all purchases.
