UNSPSC 27112312 Surface gauge is a Commodity code that encompasses hand tools and related measurement and layout instruments procured by state and local governments on an as-needed or annual contract basis. In practice, state and local buyers use this code to acquire a broad range of hand-operated tools including hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, saws, pry bars, shovels, brooms, brushes, and associated workshop supplies for maintenance, operations, and fleet service across multiple departments and facilities. Recent solicitations show governments buying these items both as standalone annual supply contracts and as components of larger maintenance and operational supply agreements, often with firm fixed pricing, CPI-based adjustment clauses, and delivery windows of five to fourteen days. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (City of Augusta), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state transportation departments procuring through cooperative purchasing vehicles (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TxDOT via Texas SmartBuy). Contracts typically run one to five years with optional renewal periods.
