UNSPSC 27112110: Retaining ring pliers

UNSPSC 27112110 Retaining ring pliers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers consumable janitorial and operational supplies, hand tools, and power tools procured on an as-needed or framework basis for government operations and maintenance. The issuing bodies are county governments, state comptroller procurement divisions operating statewide purchasing systems, and state transportation departments. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division are recent active buyers under this code, both using competitive sealed bid (ITB) and invitation-for-bid (IFB) processes to establish supply or framework agreements with multiple potential vendors.

The most recent activity appears in Florida and Texas. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 in July 2026, due July 24, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-445A1 in June 2026, due June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools (hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, and storage solutions) for use across TxDOT and other state agencies and institutions of higher education through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system. The Texas solicitation requires seven years' minimum experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, statewide distribution and repair capability within 24 hours, and runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options extending through July 31, 2030. Both solicitations require FOB Destination pricing, new products in original or first-class condition, and submission through government procurement systems (Hillsborough's Euna system and the Texas CPA's formal bid process).
