UNSPSC 27112500: Prying and bending tools

UNSPSC 27112500 Prying and bending tools is a Class code that encompasses hand tools for dismantling, separating, and material manipulation tasks. State and local governments procure these tools for janitorial, operational, maintenance, and facility-management functions across fire departments, public works, and general county operations. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement offices, and state supply-chain programs, typically buying through ITBs, RFQs, and micro purchases as consumable or as-needed supplies rather than capital equipment. Orders are often bundled with broader janitorial, operational, or building-materials supply agreements that include multiple tool categories and consumables.

Recent activity shows California, Florida, and Pennsylvania jurisdictions actively soliciting. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84) serving 47 fire stations, which likely includes prying and bending tools among other consumables. The City of Philadelphia has posted multiple micro purchases for individual tools—including a hammer tacker (B2627188, due May 29, 2026) and bar digging services (B2727674, due August 7, 2026)—both awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder through its PHLContracts eProcurement platform. The State of California solicited a three-year building materials supply agreement (RFBIS27200263, due November 13, 2026) requiring California Certified Business Enterprise certification, which spans multiple tool and material categories. Prying and bending tools appear in the market primarily as line items within larger consumables contracts or as standalone micro purchases under procurement thresholds, rather than as dedicated sole-source tool agreements.
