UNSPSC 27112828: Impact socket

A tool very similar to a regular socket but they are rather used with a power or pneumatic tool instead a manual wrench because of its major resistance to the effort.

UNSPSC 27112828 Impact socket is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no actual procurement of impact sockets or hand tools. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover outdoor circuit breakers (vacuum breakers rated 15kV, 2000A, and 25kA capacity with protective relays and current transformers) and a broad law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing vehicle. The code does not reflect what state and local buyers are actually seeking under these postings, signaling a tagging misalignment rather than active market activity in impact socket procurement at the state and local level.

Lubbock Power & Light issued RFP #7137-26-ELD on August 27, 2026, requesting proposals for three outdoor circuit breakers with associated protective relays, current transformers, technical advisor services, and spare parts documentation, with a September 24, 2026 response deadline and expected award on October 20, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, seeking law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. These two opportunities represent distinct commodity areas with no relevance to impact socket demand; the code shows little practical recent activity aligned with its stated scope.
