UNSPSC 27112130: Three jaw clamps

UNSPSC 27112130 Three jaw clamps is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal scope — instead, they reflect broader hand-tool and janitorial-supply procurement. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00285 for hand tools (due June 23, 2026) comprises 52 line items including pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels, with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over a five-year term; a separate ITB-26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies (due July 24, 2026) targets consumable stock for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department across 47 fire stations, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. Neither solicitation explicitly names three jaw clamps or clamping equipment. The issuing bodies are county purchasing offices; Hillsborough County is the sole recent repeat buyer under this code.

Activity under the code shows concentration in Florida, specifically Hillsborough County. Bidders must be authorized distributors capable of meeting delivery windows (five to ten business days for hand tools and janitorial supplies, respectively) to County warehouse locations and the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. Both ITBs require submission through the County's Euna Procurement system, Drug-Free Workplace Certification, Substitute W-9 Forms, and E-Verify compliance. Award is made to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the County reserves the right to contract with other vendors for similar goods and may share contracts with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. No minimum purchase quantities are guaranteed under either contract. The code may reflect a tagging mismatch in the County's procurement system rather than active market activity in three jaw clamps at the state and local level.
