UNSPSC 27112806: Threading taps

UNSPSC 27112806 Threading taps is a Commodity code covering hand tools and specialized mechanical equipment that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, construction, and general-use operations. Recent solicitations show that threading taps are purchased as components within larger master tool sets and individual hand-tool line items rather than as standalone commodities; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' cooperative purchasing vehicle specifically calls for tap and die sets as part of comprehensive 1,152-piece master tool sets for TxDOT and other state agencies, while county and municipal solicitations treat threading taps and related fastening tools as discrete line items within broader hand-tool portfolios. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code include state-level procurement divisions operating cooperative purchasing systems (Texas CPA), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and municipal procurement departments (City of Dallas). The work involves supplying professional-grade mechanic and maintenance tools to fleet operations, maintenance shops, and field crews across multiple departments and locations.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with recent competitive solicitations posted between March and June 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, seeking master tool sets and individual tools including tap and die sets through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, with responses due June 11, 2026; the CPA requires seven years of professional-grade mechanic tools experience, statewide on-site repair capability within 24 hours, and awards to multiple vendors across five line items on a contract running through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00285 on June 2, 2026, for ongoing hand tools procurement across 52 line items with an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41 and a June 23, 2026, response deadline; single-award basis to the lowest responsive bidder. The City of Dallas issued solicitation BL26-00029896 on March 26, 2026, for a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement covering hand and power tools and supplies across all city departments, with bids due April 24, 2026, and a local vendor preference allowing Dallas-based firms to compete within 5 percent of the lowest bid.
