UNSPSC 27112805: Threading die hand tool

A hand tool variant of a threading die used to cut an external thread on cylindrical material, such as a rod, which creates a male threaded piece that functions like a bolt.

UNSPSC 27112805 Threading die hand tool is a Commodity code that covers hand tools and related supplies purchased by state and local governments on an as-needed basis for maintenance, fleet operations, and general facility work. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers acquire hand tools through two primary channels: direct supply contracts for specific tool inventories (pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, brooms, files, axes, rakes) with exact brand-name and dimensional specifications, and master tool sets containing hundreds of pieces for garage and fleet maintenance operations. Issuing bodies range from municipal procurement offices (the City of Augusta, Georgia) and county commissions (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida) to state-level centralized purchasing divisions supporting multiple agencies through cooperative purchasing vehicles (the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division procuring for the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and higher-education institutions via Texas SmartBuy).

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The City of Augusta issued ITB 27-001 Hand Tools in September 2026 for 39 line items of hand tools supplied on an as-needed basis with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals; sealed bids closed September 29, 2026, with local-bidder preference and M/WBE program requirements applying. Hillsborough County posted ITB-26-00285 for 52 line items of hand tools with an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41 and bids due June 23, 2026; the County reserves the right to contract with multiple vendors and permits annual price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. The Texas Comptroller issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 in June 2026 for master tool sets (minimum 1,152 pieces for fleet maintenance) and discount pricing on individual hand and power tools through the cooperative purchasing system; the initial contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through 2030, and the procurement requires seven years of professional-grade mechanic-tools experience and 24-hour statewide repair capability.
