UNSPSC 27112125: Round nose pliers

UNSPSC 27112125 Round nose pliers (Commodity) describes hand tools used in maintenance and repair operations, though state and local buyers soliciting under this code are actually procuring comprehensive tool sets and consumable janitorial supplies rather than individual pliers. The code shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the actual work being bought; recent opportunities tag broad multi-item tool and supply bundles to this single-tool category, suggesting inconsistent or overly broad code assignment by issuing bodies rather than focused demand for round nose pliers specifically. State and local governments using this code are chiefly county purchasing offices and state procurement divisions managing statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts are the named recent buyers.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas. Hillsborough County issued ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies valued at $765,679.84 over one year for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, requiring new items in original packaging delivered within ten days to Tampa, Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, due June 11, 2026, for master tool sets (minimum 1,152 pieces) and individual hand and power tools for use by TxDOT and other state agencies and higher education institutions; respondents must have seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, capability to provide statewide on-site repair within 24 hours, and products must carry ten-year warranties. The Texas solicitation runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options extending through July 31, 2030. Neither opportunity directly reflects demand for round nose pliers as a standalone product.
