UNSPSC 27112501: Pipe bending tools

UNSPSC 27112501 Pipe bending tools (Commodity) appears in state and local solicitations primarily as part of broader hand-tool and equipment procurements rather than standalone bending-tool requests. The recent opportunities show that governments buying under this code are typically acquiring general hand tools, power tools, and related accessories for maintenance, operations, and capital equipment support across multiple departments and functional areas. Issuing bodies include county purchasing divisions (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County), municipal water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District), city governments (Dallas), school districts (Polk County Schools), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional procurement (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington-state counties). The scope spans routine inventory replenishment of hand tools, specialized equipment such as CNC training machinery, law enforcement equipment, and lifting apparatus—suggesting that pipe bending tools, when procured, are typically bundled with broader tool-and-accessory line items rather than solicited in isolation.

Geographic activity includes Florida (Hillsborough County, Polk County Schools, Gwinnett County in Georgia), California (Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County), Texas (City of Dallas), and multi-state cooperative purchasing coordinated through Minnesota (Sourcewell). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB2600285 for hand tools with 52 line items and an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41, due June 23, 2026; City of Dallas' BL2600029896 for a sixty-month master agreement on hand and power tools and supplies, due April 24, 2026; and Eastern Municipal Water District's RFB 3911 for inventory tools and tool accessories on a five-year contract with first-year firm pricing and annual increases not to exceed three percent, due April 17, 2026. These procurements typically require firm fixed pricing over multi-year terms, established manufacturer authorization, references from similar deployments, and compliance with delivery and warranty standards specific to each jurisdiction.
