UNSPSC 27112125: Round nose pliers

UNSPSC 27112125 Round nose pliers is a Commodity code. State and local governments acquire round nose pliers and related hand tools primarily as components of larger janitorial, maintenance, and fleet-service supply contracts rather than as standalone procurement items. The recent activity shows hand tools embedded within two distinct purchasing contexts: consumable operational supplies for fire rescue and emergency services, and professional-grade mechanic tool sets for transportation and facilities maintenance. The issuing bodies span county-level purchasing offices, state transportation agencies, and statewide cooperative purchasing programs that aggregate demand across multiple state agencies and higher-education institutions.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TxDOT represent the geographic spread of recent activity. Hillsborough County, Florida posted an ITB on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies with a response deadline of July 24, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department. The Texas Comptroller posted an IFB on June 11, 2026 through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for master tool sets and individual hand tools—including pliers as a specified component—for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions, with responses due June 11, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time and contract terms running through July 31, 2027 with renewal options through 2030. Both solicitations require new, first-class condition products and firm, all-inclusive pricing on a statewide FOB Destination basis. The Texas procurement emphasizes vendor experience, product quality, and availability; the Hillsborough County solicitation prioritizes rapid delivery capability (emergency fulfillment within five business days) and authorized-distributor status for all bidders.
