UNSPSC 27112147 Crimping pliers, a Commodity code, represents hand tools and associated hardware supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed or blanket basis for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and equipment support across multiple departments and agencies. The scope under this code encompasses individual hand tools—including pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, saws, and other implements—alongside consumable supplies such as fasteners, lubricants, and related hardware. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county commissioners' offices, state health and human services commissions, municipal procurement departments, city governments, and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles. Texas agencies—particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—appear as repeat buyers, issuing multiple ITBs and IFBs for maintenance tools and hardware bundles. Hillsborough County, Florida, has issued multiple competitive sealed bids for hand tools under its own procurement schedule.
