UNSPSC 27112814: Screwdriver bits

UNSPSC 27112814 Screwdriver bits, a Commodity code, covers individual screwdriver bits and their inclusion within larger professional-grade mechanic tool sets procured by state agencies and institutions of higher education. State and local governments buy these bits as component parts of comprehensive master tool sets used in fleet maintenance, garage operations, and vehicle service — not as standalone consumables. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) is the primary issuing body identified in recent activity, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies and institutions of higher education through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system. Master tool sets under this procurement contain a minimum of 36 screwdrivers and related drive tools as part of larger assemblies that also include wrenches, pliers, diagnostic equipment, and storage solutions. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of seven years' experience in the professional-grade mechanic tools business and provide statewide sales, distribution, and 24-hour on-site repair capability.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1 on June 11, 2026, with a due date of June 11, 2026, to procure master tool sets and individual tools for TxDOT and other state agencies and institutions of higher education through Texas SmartBuy. The procurement includes five line items spanning master tool sets (minimum 1,152 pieces) and discounted pricing on hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, and storage. Evaluation criteria weight pricing at 30 points, respondent qualifications at 30 points, and product quality and availability at 40 points, with potential awards to multiple vendors across different line items. The initial contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options through July 31, 2030, plus an additional year option. All products must be new, first-class condition, latest model in current production, with ten-year warranties covering labor, materials, and parts. A 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applies, and a pre-proposal conference was held May 28, 2026, via Microsoft Teams.
