UNSPSC 27112139: Combination pliers

A type of pliers machined from forged steel with its two handles precisely joined with a heavy-duty rivet that maintains the pliers' accuracy even after repeated use under extreme force on heavy-gauge wire.

UNSPSC 27112139 Combination pliers, a Commodity code, encompasses hand tool supplies that state and local governments procure on an ongoing, as-needed basis for maintenance, operations, and field work across departments and agencies. Recent solicitations show combination pliers purchased as part of broader hand-tool line-item contracts, with the code's actual activity reflecting consumable supply replenishment for facilities maintenance, fleet operations, and grounds care rather than specialized plier procurement in isolation.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code include city procurement offices, county commissioners' boards, state agencies, and special-purpose districts. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-001 Hand Tools (response due September 29, 2026) covering 39 line items of hand tools supplied on an as-needed basis with one-year term and four optional one-year renewals, applying Local Bidders Preference and M/WBE Program requirements. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00285 Hand Tools (response due June 23, 2026) seeking 52 line items of branded hand tools over a five-year term with an estimated value of $715,540.41, and also issued ITB-26-00319 Janitorial and Operational Supplies covering consumable supplies for 47 fire stations with an estimated value of $765,679.84. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued ITB 304T-26-445A1 Master Tool Sets and Individual Tools (response due June 11, 2026) through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for TxDOT and other state agencies, requiring respondents to demonstrate minimum seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools and capability to provide statewide repairs within 24 hours. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with recent volume concentrated among county commissioners' boards and state departments issuing blanket or as-needed supply contracts. Delivery requirements typically range from five to 14 days post-order, and pricing is held firm for initial contract periods with adjustments permitted via Consumer Price Index or wage-rate escalation clauses at contract renewal or upon documented request.
