UNSPSC 27112837: Hand reamer

A tool for enlarging or shaping a hole, for use on all materials where a hand operation and accuracy are desired, the tool is often larger and thinner than machine reamers.

UNSPSC 27112837 Hand reamer is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of hand tools as consumable supplies for maintenance, custodial, and field operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy hand reamers and related hand tools—hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, pry bars, shovels, posthole diggers, axes, brooms, and files—on an as-needed basis with fixed or escalating pricing across annual or multi-year terms. The issuing bodies are primarily cities and counties (the City of Augusta, Georgia and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and one cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell, a Minnesota governmental unit). These agencies treat hand tools as routine operational supplies, contracting for multiple line items under consolidated ITBs with single awards to the lowest responsive bidder across all items.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and through regional cooperatives. The City of Augusta issued ITB 27-001 Hand Tools—Annual Bid on September 10, 2026, due September 29, 2026, covering 39 line items with a Local Bidders Preference of 10 percent or $10,000 (whichever is less) and M/WBE Program recordkeeping requirements; contract term is one year with four optional renewals and 60-day delivery windows. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00285 Hand Tools on June 2, 2026, due June 23, 2026, covering 52 line items with an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41, five-business-day delivery to County warehouses, and participation available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, establishing a cooperative contracting solution for Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and other participating entities across the United States and Canada, though this broader procurement may include specialized law enforcement tools beyond reamers. Pricing escalation (up to three percent annually) and CPI-U adjustment mechanisms are common, and delivery to multiple locations within a single jurisdiction appears standard.
