UNSPSC 27112803: End mills

UNSPSC 27112803 End mills is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure hand tools and tool sets, but the recent solicitations show the actual buying encompasses a much broader scope than end mills alone—the opportunities reflect general-purpose hand tools including hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, shovels, saws, and organized master tool sets for fleet and garage maintenance. Issuing bodies span county governments, city procurement departments, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted an annual hand tools ITB covering 39 line items with fixed pricing and optional renewal; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted a five-year competitive sealed bid for 52 hand tool line items; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a statewide cooperative purchasing invitation covering master tool sets and individual tools for TxDOT and other state agencies and institutions of higher education through Texas SmartBuy.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The City of Augusta ITB 27-001 closed September 29, 2026, with local bidder preference applying to contracts of $100,000 or less; Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00285 closed June 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years and pricing tied to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-445A1 closed June 11, 2026, seeking master tool sets with minimum 1,152 pieces and individual hand and power tools, requiring seven years' professional-grade mechanic tools experience and 24-hour statewide repair capability. Most solicitations impose fixed pricing with allowances for index-tied adjustments, delivery within five to 60 days, and no minimum purchase guarantees. Multi-year contracts with optional renewal periods are standard, and cooperative purchasing vehicles allow subordinate entities to use the resulting contracts.
