UNSPSC 27112147: Crimping pliers

A special type of pliers whose sole purpose is to close crimp beads which are metal beads that are crushed to hold beading wire.

UNSPSC 27112147 Crimping pliers (Commodity) covers hand tools and specialized plier variants that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, fleet operations, and skilled trades training — though recent solicitations tagged to this code show minimal direct activity for crimping pliers specifically. Instead, the opportunities record broader hand-tool and power-tool procurement, suggesting that state and local buyers use this Commodity code as part of larger tool-category purchases or that tagging precision varies across jurisdictions. Issuing bodies span county purchasing departments (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County), state procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller, Texas HHSC), municipal purchasing (City of Dallas), water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District), school boards (Polk County), and specialized state agencies (TxDOT through cooperative purchasing). Counties and cities dominate the recent record, with Hillsborough County appearing in multiple solicitations for hand tools, janitorial supplies, and operational equipment.

Recent opportunities show hand-tool purchasing across Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00285 (Hand Tools, due June 23, 2026) for 52 line items of hand tools estimated at $715,540.41 over five years and ITB-26-00319 (Janitorial and Operational Supplies, due July 24, 2026) for $765,679.84 annually for the Fire Rescue Department. The Texas Comptroller issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 (Master Tool Sets and Individual Tools, due June 11, 2026) for professional-grade mechanic tool sets and hand tools distributed statewide through Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing to TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions. The City of Dallas solicited a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement (BL26-00029896, due April 24, 2026) for hand and power tools and supplies across all city departments. Eastern Municipal Water District in California issued RFB 3911 (Inventory Tools & Tool Accessories, due April 16, 2026) for a five-year term. These solicitations emphasize firm, fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, manufacturer authorization requirements, and five-year to sixty-month contract terms; none specify federal DBE or state HUB set-asides.
