UNSPSC 27112126: Flat nose pliers

UNSPSC 27112126 Flat nose pliers is a Commodity code covering individual hand tools and tool sets for maintenance and operational use. State and local governments buy flat nose pliers as components within larger consumable tool procurement — both as standalone items in janitorial and operational supply contracts and as individual pieces within comprehensive master tool sets for fleet maintenance, garage operations, and field service work. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, state transportation and public-works departments, and cooperative purchasing authorities managing statewide procurement for multiple agencies and institutions. The code sees activity from facilities management and fleet maintenance operations that sustain repetitive purchasing of consumable and replacement hand tools.

Recent activity shows Texas and Florida as active markets. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for master tool sets and individual 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 PM Central Time; the contract runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through July 31, 2030. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, with bids due July 24, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time; the estimated contract value is $765,679.84 for a one-year term. Neither solicitation specifies flat nose pliers as an itemized line, and the Hillsborough County opportunity shows broader consumable scope that may not isolate hand tools as a primary focus.
