UNSPSC 27112115: Locking pliers

UNSPSC 27112115 Locking pliers is a Commodity code covering hand tools used in maintenance, repair, and operational settings by state and local procurement offices. Recent opportunities show locking pliers solicited as part of broader consumable supplies packages and professional-grade tool sets rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies include county governments and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts represent the recent activity, with the latter procuring through a cooperative purchasing system that extends availability to other state agencies and institutions of higher education.

Hillsborough County (Florida) posted ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, requesting competitive sealed bids for consumable janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 stations; locking pliers appear implicitly within this supplies scope. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for TxDOT and other state agencies, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time; the specification explicitly calls for a minimum of 27 pliers pieces within the master tool sets, placing locking pliers within the procurement scope. Activity is geographically concentrated in Texas and Florida, with Texas showing the broader multi-agency footprint through its cooperative purchasing vehicle. Both solicitations emphasize new condition products with extended warranties and statewide or multi-location delivery capability.
