UNSPSC 27112834: Hand pipe threader case

An empty container or wrapping usually made of metal, plastic, wood or other material that is used to protect and order the pipe threaders.

UNSPSC 27112834 Hand pipe threader case is a Commodity code covering hand tools and related equipment that state and local governments procure on an ongoing, as-needed basis for maintenance, operations, and field work. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying branded hand tools—shovels, hammers, axes, pry bars, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and related implements—bundled in annual or multi-year supply contracts. The issuing bodies are primarily city procurement departments and county commissioners' offices; a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) also issued a law-enforcement-equipment RFP that may encompass hand tools within a broader equipment category. Contracts typically include 39 to 52 line items, each with exact brand and specification requirements, and award is made to the single lowest responsive bidder meeting those specifications across all items. Delivery windows are tight (five to sixty days from purchase order), pricing is fixed for contract terms with limited escalation provisions, and minimum purchase volumes are not guaranteed.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued an ITB for annual hand tools (27-001) with sealed bids due September 29, 2026, covering 39 line items at unspecified total value with a Local Bidders Preference for awards under $100,000 and M/WBE program compliance required. Hillsborough County, Florida Board of County Commissioners solicited competitive sealed bids (ITB-26-00285) for hand tools on a five-year term with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41, bids due June 23, 2026, with pricing subject to annual CPI-U adjustments and contract availability to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, issued an RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026, open to multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide, though the relationship between this broad equipment RFP and the Commodity code's specific scope is unclear from available materials.
