UNSPSC 27112729: Tube crimper

A gun shaped pressing tool that makes the correct connection between two tubes. Power source can be either AC or battery.

UNSPSC 27112729 Tube crimper is a Commodity code that captures hand tools and related equipment procured by state and local governments for operational and maintenance needs across departments and service lines. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers acquiring broad inventories of hand tools — including pry bars, brushes, buckets, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, lifting hooks, and CNC training equipment with associated tooling — rather than tube crimpers specifically. Issuing bodies span county purchasing divisions, municipal departments, water utilities, school boards, and cooperative purchasing entities. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Dallas, Eastern Municipal Water District, Gwinnett County, and the School Board of Polk County appear in recent notices; Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) is also active on behalf of participating entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, California, and Washington, with multi-state cooperative purchasing extending availability nationwide. Representative solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB2600285 for ongoing hand tools purchases across 52 line items (estimated $715,540.41 over five years, due June 23, 2026); the City of Dallas BL2600029896 establishing a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement for hand and power tools (due April 24, 2026); Eastern Municipal Water District RFB 3911 for inventory tools and accessories on a five-year term (due April 16, 2026); and Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026). Gwinnett County's IWQ 128183 sought 125 lifting hooks by April 3, 2026. Most contracts specify delivery to multiple county or municipal warehouse and operational locations, firm or CPI-adjusted pricing over multi-year terms, and performance standards including on-time delivery and quality metrics.
