UNSPSC 27112700: Power tools

UNSPSC 27112700 Power tools is a Class code encompassing hand-operated and powered cutting, fastening, and striking implements that state and local governments procure on an ongoing, as-needed basis for maintenance, construction, and facility operations. State and local buyers under this code are primarily counties and county-level purchasing authorities, with Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posting multiple recent solicitations for consumable hand tools and power-tool accessories. The work spans competitive sealed bids for branded, exact-specification tool inventories — pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, and reciprocating saw blades — where award is made to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a non-exclusive basis with no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes. Contracts typically permit annual price adjustments indexed to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers and include five-business-day delivery windows to multiple warehouse or operational locations. Payment terms run 45 days net from invoice, and all suppliers must complete mandatory compliance documentation including W-9 forms, drug-free workplace certifications, and e-verify verification.

Hillsborough County dominates the recent-opportunity profile for this code in Florida. Two ITBs posted between March and June 2026 represent the current activity: ITB2600199 for reciprocating saw blades (five specific Milwaukee and Diablo models, $78,367.00 estimated value, two-year term, due March 26, 2026) and ITB2600285 for ongoing hand-tools purchases (52 line items, $715,540.41 estimated value, five-year term, due June 23, 2026). Both solicitations are available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under cooperative purchasing arrangements. No other states or issuing bodies appear in the recent-opportunities block; activity under this code is not yet visible across a broad geographic or jurisdictional base.
