UNSPSC 27112302: Awls

UNSPSC 27112302 Awls (Commodity) covers hand tools for construction, maintenance, and fleet operations that state and local governments procure as part of broader portable equipment, tool set, and maintenance supply packages. The code encompasses individual awls and punch tools typically integrated into mechanic's sets, tool kits, and maintenance inventories used by transportation departments, educational service districts, and facilities operations teams across state and local agencies.

State and local solicitations under this code have recently been issued by Educational Service Districts in Texas and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and higher-education institutions through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing vehicle. The Educational Service District 564 issued ITB CM0227 for portable construction and maintenance equipment with a response date of November 19, 2026, encompassing a range of tools and related services. The Texas CPA issued ITB 304T26445A1 for master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy system with a response date of June 11, 2026, requiring respondents to provide minimum 1,152-piece master tool sets for fleet and garage maintenance that include hand tools, pneumatic power tools, diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions, with ten-year warranties and firm FOB Destination pricing. Respondents to the CPA solicitation must have a minimum of seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools and capability to provide statewide on-site repairs within 24 hours. Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, with the CPA cooperative vehicle providing indirect access to multiple state agencies and institutions of higher education through a single prime award with renewal options through July 31, 2030.
