UNSPSC 27112713: Impact wrenches

UNSPSC 27112713 Impact wrenches (Commodity) covers hand-held power tools and manual fastening equipment that state and local governments procure as operational supplies for maintenance, law enforcement, and utility operations. Recent solicitations show impact wrenches being bundled within broader tool and equipment inventories rather than as standalone line items, reflecting how these jurisdictions typically acquire them as part of maintenance inventories or agency equipment packages.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal water districts, county governments, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California, issued RFB 3911 on April 1, 2026, for Inventory Tools & Tool Accessories with a response deadline of April 17, 2026, establishing a five-year contract with firm pricing for the first year and capped annual increases thereafter. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle administered on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and numerous jurisdictions nationwide, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, establishing a framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities. Geographic activity centers on California and the Pacific Northwest, with the Sourcewell cooperative extending nationwide reach. Both opportunities reflect procurement patterns in which impact wrenches and similar hand tools enter government inventories through routine maintenance supply and equipment refresh cycles rather than as specialized capital acquisitions.
