UNSPSC 27112148: Electronics pliers

A specialized hand tool designed primarily for gripping electronic wires or other objects by using leverage. These are designed for numerous purposes and sometimes require different jaw configurations to grip, turn, pull, or crimp a variety of things.

UNSPSC 27112148 Electronics pliers, a Commodity code, covers hand tools used in maintenance and operational settings by state and local agencies. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments procure pliers as components of broader master tool sets for fleet and facility maintenance, or as individual consumable hand tools for fire rescue and emergency operations. The code sees activity from county governments (particularly emergency services departments) and state procurement offices sourcing tools on behalf of multiple agencies through cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Recent opportunities confirm mixed purchasing patterns. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, seeking master tool sets containing a minimum of 27 pliers as part of comprehensive mechanic toolkits for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions through Texas SmartBuy, with responses due June 11, 2026, and potential awards to multiple vendors; the initial term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies (estimated at $765,679.84 for one year) supporting the Fire Rescue Department across 47 stations, with bids due July 24, 2026—this opportunity shows pliers classified as consumable supplies rather than as part of a master set, indicating varied procurement approaches across jurisdictions. Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with cooperative purchasing vehicles extending reach beyond individual agencies.
