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 (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code include janitorial supplies for a county fire department and master tool sets for a state transportation department — neither of which centers on wire-stripping pliers or closely related electrical hand tools. The code's abstract product definition does not match the work actually being solicited in current notices. State and local governments do procure hand tools through cooperative purchasing vehicles and agency-specific contracts, but the recent records available do not demonstrate active or concentrated demand for wire-stripping pliers as a standalone commodity.

The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies with a due date of July 24, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year, while the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, for master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system with responses due June 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM Central Time. The Texas solicitation explicitly includes pliers among the required hand tools (minimum 27 pieces per master set) as a component of larger professional-grade mechanic tool kits, but wire-stripping pliers are not itemized separately. Activity under this code does not show sufficient recent volume or geographic concentration to support a purchasing strategy focused on wire-stripping pliers as a primary or standalone commodity in state and local procurement.
