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 covering hand-operated and powered socket tools and accessories that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, maintenance, and field operations. The code captures individual tools and related accessories—including impact sockets, socket sets, extensions, and adapters—that issuing bodies stock as inventory for repair, equipment maintenance, and emergency response work. State and local buyers under this code include municipal water and utility districts, county law enforcement agencies, and cooperative purchasing consortia aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative, has emerged as a significant buyer aggregator, pooling purchasing power across Franklin County, Grant County, Yakima County, and hundreds of other public entities across the United States and Canada.

Recent activity spans California and the Pacific Northwest. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California issued RFB 3911 on April 1, 2026, seeking inventory tools and tool accessories with a response deadline of April 17, 2026 and contract award scheduled for May 7, 2026 on a five-year term with firm pricing for year one. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to participating entities with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Both opportunities call for delivery to specific warehouse locations with performance standards tied to on-time delivery and quality metrics. The Sourcewell procurement is structured as a cooperative framework allowing participating entities flexibility in how they deploy the contract, whereas the EMWD opportunity is a direct supply and delivery engagement requiring F.O.B. destination freight prepaid to a Riverside County receiving facility.
