UNSPSC 27112501: Pipe bending tools

UNSPSC 27112501 Pipe bending tools (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring broad hand tool supply contracts, not specialized pipe bending equipment. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have posted recent ITBs for annual or multi-year hand tool supply agreements covering dozens of line items—shovels, hammers, pry bars, saws, screwdrivers, and similar common hand tools—supplied on an as-needed basis to municipal operations. A Sourcewell RFP posted in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment has been tagged with this code but is unrelated to pipe bending tools or general hand tool procurement. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal departments and county governments procuring maintenance and operational hand tools; neither the code's name nor the actual work being bought involves pipe bending.

The two relevant opportunities come from Georgia and Florida. The City of Augusta issued ITB 27-001 with a September 29, 2026 due date for 39 line items of hand tools on a one-year renewable contract, applying local bidders' preference and M/WBE program requirements. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00285 with a June 23, 2026 due date and an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41 for 52 line items of branded hand tools, allowing CPI-U price adjustments and permitting contract use by members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. Both contracts require delivery within days of purchase order and prohibit minimum-order guarantees, reflecting episodic demand for replacement tools across facilities and departments.
