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 specialized hand tools for precision work and diagnostics — pliers designed for electrical and electronic assembly, maintenance, and repair operations in professional and operational settings. State and local governments procure these tools primarily for fleet maintenance, public safety equipment servicing, and facility operations conducted by uniformed and trades personnel. The code captures both individual pliers sold through bulk tool procurement and component line items within larger master tool set contracts. Issuing bodies include county governments managing fire rescue and public works operations, state transportation and fleet agencies, and special-purpose procurement divisions managing cooperative purchasing systems for multiple agencies and higher-education institutions.

Recent opportunities span Florida and Texas. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 in June 2026 through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, procuring master tool sets and individual hand tools including a minimum of 27 pliers per set for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions, with responses due June 11, 2026; the solicitation specified professional-grade equivalent tooling and required respondents to demonstrate seven years' experience in the mechanic tools business with statewide repair capability. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 in July 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies including hand tools for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department, with bids due July 24, 2026; while that opportunity was tagged under a general consumables code, it included tool procurement for 47 fire stations operating 24/7. Both solicitations required new, first-class condition equipment with comprehensive warranties and firm pricing inclusive of statewide or multi-location delivery.
