UNSPSC 27112703: Power drills

UNSPSC 27112703 Power drills (Commodity) covers power tools and hand tools procured by state and local governments for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and departmental use. The two recent opportunities show substantial variance in scope: the Texas Comptroller's statewide cooperative vehicle solicits master tool sets of 1,152+ pieces including pneumatic power tools, hand tools, diagnostic equipment, and storage cabs for TxDOT and other agencies; Hillsborough County simultaneously solicits hand tools only—pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, and brushes—for county warehouses on a five-year renewable basis. State agencies and county governments both buy under this code, with state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles offering multi-year agreements and county procurement offices managing smaller, ongoing supply contracts. The Texas solicitation emphasizes professional-grade equipment with seven-year vendor experience requirements, on-site repair capability, and reference brands such as Snap-on Tools and Mac Tools; the Hillsborough County bid prioritizes exact brand-name specifications with low-cost five-day delivery to distributed warehouse locations. Respondents to the Texas procurement must hold $500,000 commercial general liability insurance and provide ten-year product warranties; Hillsborough County requires E-Verify compliance, performance bonds are waived, and annual price adjustments track the Consumer Price Index.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller's cooperative purchasing initiative runs through July 31, 2027 with four renewal options through 2030, with pre-proposal conference on May 28, 2026 and responses due June 11, 2026, targeting multiple vendor awards. Hillsborough County's competitive sealed bid (ITB2600285) closes June 23, 2026 with estimated five-year value of $715,540.41, awarded to a single lowest responsive bidder with non-exclusive contract terms and no minimum purchase guarantee. The Texas opportunity appeals to vendors capable of statewide logistics and professional tool distribution; the Hillsborough County opportunity favors efficient, brand-specified hand-tool suppliers with rapid warehouse delivery. No set-asides are identified in the Texas solicitation, though reciprocal preferences for Texas-manufactured goods and service-disabled veteran ownership are available under attachment.
