UNSPSC 27112107: Adjustable widemouth pliers

UNSPSC 27112107 Adjustable widemouth pliers, a Commodity code, represents hand tools procured by state and local jurisdictions for operational and maintenance use. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring pliers as components of broader tool procurement — both as individual items within janitorial and operational supplies contracts and as specific hand-tool line items within master tool set bids serving maintenance and fleet operations. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices and state cooperative procurement divisions sourcing for multiple end-user agencies, departments, and institutions.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is procuring master tool sets and individual hand tools, including pliers, through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher education institutions, with responses due June 11, 2026; the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Tampa, Florida issued a competitive sealed bid (ITB2600319) for janitorial and operational supplies on an as-needed basis, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year, with bids due July 24, 2026. Neither solicitation specifies a contract value or quantity allocation dedicated solely to pliers, and both treat hand tools — including pliers — as components within larger consumable-supply or tool-set portfolios rather than standalone procurement lines.
