UNSPSC 27112815: Nut driver bits

UNSPSC 27112815 Nut driver bits is a Commodity code covering individual hand tools and driver bits supplied to state and local maintenance and operations programs. State and local governments procure nut driver bits as line items within broader hand tools contracts, typically bundled with hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pry bars, saws, and other fixed-asset tooling for fleet maintenance, transportation operations, facilities management, and general field work. Solicitations under this code span city public works departments, county facilities and transportation divisions, and state transportation and higher-education agencies. Issuing bodies source these items through competitive sealed bids (ITB) and cooperative purchasing vehicles, with multi-year terms and as-needed ordering. Suppliers must meet exact brand specifications, provide catalog documentation or samples demonstrating quality equivalence, commit to firm pricing with limited escalation rights, and deliver within five to sixty days of order receipt depending on the contract structure.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with the City of Augusta, Georgia posting ITB 27-001 Hand Tools (due September 29, 2026) covering 39 line items of hand tools including driver bits on an annual renewable basis with local bidder preference and M/WBE program requirements; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida issuing ITB-26-00285 Hand Tools (due June 23, 2026) for 52 line items at an estimated five-year value of $715,540.41 with CPI-U price adjustment terms; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system (Invitation for Bid 304T-26-445A1, due June 11, 2026) for use by TxDOT and other state agencies, with minimum seven-year supplier experience required and statewide 24-hour repair capability mandated. The code shows steady activity as part of routine municipal and county maintenance supply consolidation but does not appear as a standalone or high-volume category in recent solicitations.
