UNSPSC 27112117: End cut pliers

UNSPSC 27112117 End cut pliers, a Commodity code, encompasses hand tools and small cutting implements that state and local governments procure as consumable supplies and components within broader fleet maintenance, facilities operations, and emergency services tooling programs. Recent solicitations show end cut pliers bundled into larger purchasing vehicles for janitorial and operational supplies delivered on an as-needed basis to fire rescue departments, and as line-item components within master tool sets for garage and fleet maintenance operations serving multiple state agencies and institutions of higher education. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of county purchasing offices and state procurement divisions operating cooperative purchasing systems; county boards of commissioners and state transportation or comptroller offices are the primary administrative contacts for these opportunities.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, seeking consumable janitorial and operational supplies including hand tools for 47 fire stations, with bids due July 24, 2026, under an estimated one-year contract valued at $765,679.84 and delivery to Tampa, Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state entities, issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 in June 2026 requesting master tool sets with specified minimums for pliers (27 pieces) and individual hand tools as discount-priced line items for garage and fleet maintenance; the pre-proposal conference occurred May 28, 2026, and responses were due June 11, 2026, with contract term through July 31, 2027, and four renewal options extending through July 31, 2030.
