UNSPSC 27112820: Lug crimping tool dies

UNSPSC 27112820 Lug crimping tool dies is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of hand tools than its discrete name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing general-purpose hand tools—including hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, pry bars, brooms, brushes, shovels, rakes, axes, and related implements—supplied on an ongoing, as-needed basis for fleet maintenance, public works, facilities management, and grounds operations. The issuing bodies include city procurement departments, county boards of commissioners, and state-level cooperative purchasing programs. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County, Florida have each posted recent ITBs for hand tools contracts; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, acting on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state entities through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, solicited master tool sets and individual hand tools with broader statewide scope.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The City of Augusta posted ITB 27-001 on September 10, 2026, with sealed bids due September 29, 2026, covering 39 line items of hand tools with specified brand-name references and a one-year term with four optional renewals; Augusta applies a local bidders preference to projects of $100,000 or less and requires M/WBE program compliance. Hillsborough County posted ITB 26-00285 on June 2, 2026, with bids due June 23, 2026, for 52 line items of hand tools at an estimated value of $715,540.41 over five years, with pricing subject to CPI-U adjustments and delivery required within five business days to multiple county warehouse locations. The Texas Comptroller's cooperative purchasing solicitation, issued June 11, 2026, focuses on master tool sets containing a minimum of 1,152 pieces for fleet and garage maintenance and individual tools available at discount pricing, with responses due by June 11, 2026; that solicitation permits Texas-manufactured goods and service-disabled veteran ownership preferences and requires respondents to carry $500,000 in commercial general liability coverage.
