UNSPSC 27112732: Power pipe bender

A power tool commonly used to make the elbows of pipes and also other forms.

UNSPSC 27112732 Power pipe bender is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure hand tools and tool accessories under this code — primarily through as-needed supply agreements and bulk purchasing arrangements for inventory replenishment across multiple departments and work groups. Recent solicitations show governments buying assorted hand tools including wrenches, hammers, saws, screwdrivers, pry bars, and specialized equipment like lifting hooks and pipe benders, typically bundled into broader tool-and-supplies contracts rather than as single-product buys. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County), municipal procurement bureaus (City of Dallas), special water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District), and school districts. Counties dominate the recent opportunity set, with water and utility districts and cities as secondary buyers.

Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas, with additional reach through cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell that span multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB2600285 on June 2, 2026, for 52 line items of hand tools with a five-year contract value of $715,540.41 and a June 23, 2026 deadline; City of Dallas issuing BL2600029896 for a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement for hand and power tools and supplies across all City Departments, with bids due April 24, 2026; and Eastern Municipal Water District issuing RFB 3911 for inventory tools and tool accessories on April 1, 2026, with a five-year contract term and an April 16, 2026 bid deadline. All recent solicitations require FOB delivery to designated warehouse locations, brand-name or approved-equal specifications, firm pricing (often with limited annual adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index), and performance guarantees including on-time delivery and quality metrics.
