UNSPSC 27112151: Wire-stripping pliers

A type of pliers designed for cutting and removing insulation on electrical wire while leaving the wire intact.

UNSPSC 27112151 Wire-stripping pliers is a Commodity code that designates specialized hand tools used in electrical work and equipment maintenance. State and local governments acquire wire-stripping pliers and similar precision hand tools through two distinct procurement pathways: direct procurement of consumable supplies for routine departmental use, and inclusion in master tool sets bundled for fleet and equipment maintenance operations. The issuing bodies span county purchasing offices, state transportation and public works agencies, and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles. Wire-stripping pliers appear as line items or bundled components rather than as standalone solicitations; they surface within larger orders for janitorial and operational supplies destined to fire rescue departments, or as specification elements within master tool sets procured for transportation and equipment maintenance at multiple state agencies.

Recent opportunities in Florida and Texas dominate the current activity. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 2600319 on July 7, 2026, seeking consumable janitorial and operational supplies estimated at $765,679.84 for delivery to the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department across 47 fire stations, with bids due July 24, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual hand tools including pliers and related precision instruments for Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time; the contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through 2030. Both solicitations specify new, first-class condition products with standard delivery windows and firm, all-inclusive pricing structures.
