UNSPSC 27112841: Hand drill bit for metal

High speed drill bit for accurate drilling in metal using hand drill

UNSPSC 27112841 Hand drill bit for metal is a Commodity-tier code that encompasses individual drill bits and component elements within broader hand tool and power tool procurement packages for state and local maintenance and fleet operations. State and local governments buy drill bits primarily as components integrated into master tool sets for garage and fleet maintenance, as line items within broader hand tool inventories for ongoing operations, and as replaceable consumables for equipment maintenance. The code sees activity from state procurement offices managing statewide cooperative purchasing systems, county commissioners' offices, and departments of transportation and higher-education institutions purchasing through centralized vendors. Master tool sets solicited under related codes routinely specify minimum quantities of drill bits as part of standardized kits (for example, 29 drill bits within a 1,152-piece master set), and standalone hand tool inventories frequently include drill bits as discrete line items, indicating steady demand for both integrated and à la carte sourcing.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 (posted June 11, 2026, responses due June 11, 2026) procuring master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for TxDOT and other state agencies and institutions of higher education; the master sets must include a minimum of 29 drill bits as part of the broader hand tool complement. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00285 (posted June 2, 2026, responses due June 23, 2026) for ongoing hand tool purchases across 52 line items with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years, though the specific commodity summary does not isolate drill bits within that line-item breakdown. Both solicitations require five-business-day delivery, firm pricing with annual CPI or Producer Price Index adjustments, and statewide or countywide warehouse distribution. The code sees limited standalone recent visibility; most drill bit procurement activity occurs as a component within larger tool set or inventory contracts rather than as a dedicated commodity solicitation.
