UNSPSC 27112810: Thread repair kits

UNSPSC 27112810 Thread repair kits, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code involve general hand tools procurement rather than thread repair kits specifically. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners both issued ITBs for broad hand tools supply contracts covering items such as shovels, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and brooms — categories that fall outside thread repair functionality. A third recent posting by Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington jurisdictions sought law enforcement equipment, which is unrelated to thread repair. State and local governments appear to tag hand tools procurement broadly under this code family without distinguishing specialized repair kits as a separate line item.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia and Florida at the municipal and county level, with a multi-state cooperative purchasing component through Sourcewell in Washington. The City of Augusta issued an ITB for an annual hand tools contract (due September 29, 2026) covering 39 line items on an as-needed basis with fixed pricing and optional price escalation up to three percent at renewal; a Local Bidders Preference applied to awards of $100,000 or less. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB (due June 23, 2026) for 52 line items of hand tools with an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41, allowing CPI-U-based annual price adjustments and permitting use by members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. The code shows limited current targeting opportunity for thread repair kit vendors; business development efforts should focus on broader hand tools frameworks or explore whether procurement offices use different codes for specialized repair inventory.
