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 in recent state and local procurement activity covers hand tools supply contracts, though the recent solicitations in this dataset reflect general hand tools procurement rather than tube crimpers specifically. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have posted ITBs for annual hand tools supply contracts covering dozens of line items—shovels, hammers, axes, saws, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, brooms, buckets, and related items—supplied on an as-needed basis to support municipal and county operations. Both contracts emphasize brand-name specification compliance and require bidders to submit samples or specification documentation to demonstrate product equivalence. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal and county purchasing offices; the recent opportunities show cities and counties managing these procurements directly through their own procurement departments with local-bidder preferences and M/WBE program compliance requirements.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County, Florida. The City of Augusta issued ITB 27-001 Hand Tools with a due date of September 29, 2026, covering 39 line items with a one-year term and four optional one-year renewals; suppliers must deliver within 60 days of purchase order receipt and may request price escalation of no more than three percent annually. Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00285 Hand Tools, due June 23, 2026, spans 52 line items with an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41, five-business-day delivery requirement, and CPI-U-based annual price adjustments. A third record references a Sourcewell cooperative RFP (#061626 Law Enforcement Equipment) with a June 16, 2026 deadline, but that solicitation targets law enforcement equipment broadly and does not reflect activity specific to this Commodity code.
