UNSPSC 27112807: Chucks

UNSPSC 27112807 Chucks, a Commodity code, encompasses hand tools that state and local governments procure on an ongoing and as-needed basis for maintenance, operations, and field work across departments and facilities. The scope of work under this code includes pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, abrasive rolls, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, and similar hand tools specified with exact brand-name requirements. Issuing bodies pursuing hand-tool contracts at the state and local level include county governments and county purchasing cooperatives, which often structure these procurements as non-exclusive, multi-year supply agreements to serve multiple internal departments and warehouse locations. Awards typically go to single responsive and responsible bidders on a lowest-price basis, with delivery requirements tied to purchase order issuance and pricing adjustment mechanisms such as CPI-U escalation built into the contract terms.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00285 on June 2, 2026, seeking competitive sealed bids for hand tools across 52 line items with a five-year estimated contract value of $715,540.41 and a response deadline of June 23, 2026. The contract permits delivery to multiple County warehouse locations throughout Hillsborough County with five-business-day lead times and reserves the County's right to contract with other vendors concurrently and to modify terms with 24 hours' notice. The procurement required electronic bid submission through the County's Euna Procurement system, E-Verify compliance, and standard documentation including W-9 forms, Drug Free Workplace Certification, and Direct Deposit Authorization. The contract is available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under identical terms, extending the opportunity's reach beyond the County itself.
