UNSPSC 27112840: Guide drill bit

A drill bit with a guide included for a better and more precise perforation.

UNSPSC 27112840 Guide drill bit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure drill bits as standalone items and as components within larger master tool sets for maintenance, fleet operations, and construction activities. Recent solicitations show drill bits being sourced both individually (as line items within broader hand-tool packages) and as part of comprehensive tool kits assembled for garage and fleet maintenance shops. The buying mix spans state purchasing divisions coordinating multi-agency procurement through cooperative systems, county governments, and city departments. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is a standout repeat buyer, using cooperative purchasing authority to aggregate demand across TxDOT, other state agencies, and higher-education institutions; master tool sets specified for TxDOT and similar end-users typically include 29 drill bits as a standardized component alongside hundreds of other drive tools, wrenches, and specialized equipment.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller's Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1, posted June 11, 2026, with responses due the same date, seeks master tool sets with embedded drill-bit requirements through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system for a term through July 31, 2027, with four renewal options; the procurement emphasizes 24-hour statewide repair capability and references Snap-on Tools and Mac Tools as benchmark brands. Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB-26-00285 on June 2, 2026, due June 23, 2026, for as-needed hand tools across 52 line items at an estimated $715,540.41 over five years, with five-business-day delivery to county warehouses.
