UNSPSC 27112842: Hand drill bit for wood

Drill bit designed specifically for drilling in wood reducing the chipping, tear out, and burning caused by high-speed metal drill bits

UNSPSC 27112842 Hand drill bit for wood is a Commodity code that captures discrete hand drill bits and the broader hand tool procurement activity state and local governments execute through master tool kits, fleet maintenance inventories, and ongoing maintenance supplies. The two recent solicitations show the code's actual usage patterns: the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is procuring master tool sets containing a minimum of 29 drill bits per kit for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher-education institutions through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, while Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting hand tools via ITB on a five-year, as-needed basis for County warehouse distribution. Both opportunities reflect the end-use profile—fleet maintenance, facility operations, and general repairs across departments and counties—rather than specialty drilling work. Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions managing cooperative purchasing, county purchasing offices, and transportation departments sourcing through statewide vehicles. The solicitations emphasize bulk purchasing of professional-grade tools with firm pricing, warranty coverage, and rapid delivery (24 hours statewide for Texas; five business days for Hillsborough County).

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida based on recent postings. The Texas Comptroller IFB (304T26445A1, due June 11, 2026) represents the larger statewide procurement model with potential for awards to multiple vendors and contract renewal through July 31, 2030, while the Hillsborough County IFB (ITB2600285, due June 23, 2026) carries an estimated value of $715,540.41 over five years with single-award to the lowest responsive bidder. Both require E-Verify compliance, commercial general liability insurance, and submission of supporting documentation (W-9, drug-free workplace certification, direct deposit authorization). The Texas opportunity allows price adjustments annually based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index for Metal and Metal Products; Hillsborough County permits CPI-U-based adjustments. Neither solicitation specifies set-asides, though Texas allows disclosure of reciprocal preferences for Texas-manufactured goods and service-disabled veteran ownership. Both contracts are non-exclusive and may be extended or terminated for convenience by the issuing body.
