UNSPSC 27112710: Power screwguns

UNSPSC 27112710 Power screwguns is a Commodity code encompassing hand-held, battery-powered and pneumatic screwdriving tools that state and local governments procure as part of broader fleet maintenance and facility repair operations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for power screwguns in mixed tool sets serving transportation departments, state agencies, and higher education institutions. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posted a cooperative purchasing solicitation (IFB 304T26445A1) in June 2026 seeking master tool sets and individual tools for Texas Department of Transportation and other state entities through the Texas SmartBuy vehicle, with power tools specified as battery-powered, air-powered, and corded electric variants included in the five line items. Respondents must demonstrate seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, statewide 24-hour on-site repair capability, and ten-year warranties covering labor, materials, and parts.

The single identified recent opportunity reflects Texas activity under the code. The Texas Comptroller's June 2026 IFB closing date has passed; the underlying contract runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through 2030. The procurement evaluated responses on pricing (30 points), respondent qualifications and experience (30 points), and product quality and availability (40 points), with potential awards to multiple vendors across line items. Texas SmartBuy is a statewide cooperative vehicle extending purchasing access to other state agencies and higher education institutions, broadening the addressable customer base beyond TxDOT. The solicitation permitted respondents to declare eligibility for Texas reciprocal preferences including service-disabled veteran ownership and Texas-manufactured goods status. A 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applies to all purchases, and annual price adjustments for master tool sets are permitted after the initial term based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
