UNSPSC 27112114: Diagonal cut pliers

UNSPSC 27112114 Diagonal cut pliers, a Commodity code, covers hand tools for operational and maintenance use by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring diagonal cut pliers as part of larger hand-tool assemblies—particularly master tool sets for fleet and facility maintenance—and as consumable supplies for fire rescue and public-safety operations. The buying pattern reflects acquisition both as discrete items within broader tool kits and as components of janitorial and operational supply contracts. County purchasing offices and state procurement divisions are the primary issuing bodies, with state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (like Texas SmartBuy) enabling multi-agency procurement at the same terms.

Recent activity spans Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, seeking master tool sets (containing a minimum of 27 pliers among 1,152 total pieces) and individual hand tools for TxDOT and other state agencies through Texas SmartBuy, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time; the contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through July 31, 2030. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies (including hand tools) for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 fire stations, with bids due July 24, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time; the estimated contract value is $765,679.84 for a one-year period, with delivery required to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida.
