UNSPSC 27112140: Circlip pliers

A type of pliers for installing and removing circle clips (circular retaining rings).

UNSPSC 27112140 Circlip pliers is a Commodity code representing hand tools and related hardware supplies procured by state and local jurisdictions on an as-needed basis for maintenance, operations, and fleet management. State and local governments buy this commodity as part of broader consumable hand-tool contracts that bundle multiple tool types—pry bars, wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, saws, and similar items—rather than as standalone circlip pliers orders. The scope spans general-purpose hand tools for county maintenance departments, state agency facilities, fire rescue operations, and fleet services. Issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), city procurement offices (Augusta, Georgia), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Transportation via cooperative purchasing). The mix reflects routine consumable procurement across general-purpose maintenance operations rather than specialized tool procurement.
