UNSPSC 27112138: Manual pipe straightener

A tool for straightening low resistance pipe used in the plumbing and construction industries.

UNSPSC 27112138 Manual pipe straightener is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly matching its nominal scope. The code appears in state and local procurement databases but does not surface in the recent opportunities available; the most recent contracts tagged under related hand-tool and equipment categories reflect broader tool and equipment procurement rather than pipe-straightening equipment specifically. State and local governments do solicit hand tools, power tools, lifting equipment, and CNC training systems through counties, cities, water districts, and school boards, but manual pipe straighteners as a standalone line item do not appear in the current opportunity stream. The issuing bodies that do procure under adjacent codes include large county commissioners' offices (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County), municipal water and utilities districts (Eastern Municipal Water District, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources), city purchasing departments (City of Dallas), school boards (Polk County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell).

Geographic activity in hand tools and related equipment procurement concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas, with cooperative opportunities extending nationally through Sourcewell. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00285 for hand tools with a June 23, 2026 response deadline and an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41 covering 52 line items including pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels. The City of Dallas posted solicitation BL26-00029896 on March 26, 2026 for a sixty-month hand and power tools and supplies agreement with an April 24, 2026 bid deadline. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County issued RFB 3911 for inventory tools and tool accessories with an April 17, 2026 deadline and a five-year contract term. None of these recent opportunities explicitly name manual pipe straighteners or related pipe-preparation equipment as a line item or focus. The code remains quiet in current activity; firms considering pursuit should monitor whether scope expands or whether the code receives tagging in future infrastructure or maintenance-focused solicitations from water utilities, public works departments, or transportation authorities.
