UNSPSC 27112155: Piston ring expander

A tool similar to pliers used in inserting or pulling out piston ring from the piston.

UNSPSC 27112155 Piston ring expander, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent procurement activity under state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally addresses automotive engine components, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code span hand tools, circuit breakers, woodshop supplies, janitorial equipment, HVAC and plumbing parts, and maintenance hardware—none of which are piston ring expanders or closely related engine components. The mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to general maintenance and operational supply contracts, or the procurement database conflates unrelated commodity classifications.

The geographic spread of these tangentially related opportunities spans Texas (City of Augusta, Georgia; Lubbock Power & Light; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), Florida (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and Georgia, with the most recent activity posted between June and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Augusta's ITB 27-001 for hand tools (due September 29, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00285 for hand tools over five years valued at $715,540.41 (due June 23, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's master tool sets and individual tools procurement through Texas SmartBuy (due June 11, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's multiple IFBs for maintenance supplies at Rusk State Hospital and other facilities. State agencies, county governments, and special-purpose authorities such as Lubbock Power & Light dominate recent issuers. The absence of genuine piston ring expander solicitations indicates this code does not see active state and local procurement for its stated commodity; pursue only if your firm supplies the related maintenance and operational products actually being solicited under the mistag.
