UNSPSC 27112116: Fence pliers

UNSPSC 27112116 Fence pliers, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement records primarily as a minor line item within broader fence installation, repair, and tool-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone product category. State and local governments do not solicit fence pliers directly under this code; instead, the code surfaces in aggregated master price agreements and cooperative purchasing vehicles that bundle fencing hardware and hand tools for maintenance and construction work. Recent opportunities show that when fence pliers are procured, they are typically bundled as component inventory within larger fence material and labor contracts or as part of comprehensive tool sets for fleet maintenance and facility operations across multiple agencies and departments.

State procurement offices and regional county departments dominate the issuing-body mix, including the Rhode Island Division of Purchases, Hillsborough County (Florida) Board of County Commissioners, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts operating the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies. Rhode Island's MPA 498 FY27 Open Enrollment (RFP, proposals due August 24, 2026) seeks fence installation and repair services statewide with a 15% minimum MBE/WBE participation requirement; the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue janitorial and operational supplies ITB (bids due July 24, 2026) is estimated at $765,679.84 and covers consumables across 47 fire stations; and the Texas SmartBuy master tool sets procurement (invitation for bid due June 11, 2026) includes pliers as a specified component within 1,152-piece tool sets designed for fleet maintenance. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Rhode Island, and Texas, with tools and fencing materials purchased through state-level master price agreements and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and agencies over multi-year terms.
