UNSPSC 27112845: Drill bit set

A standard collection or kit of different bits used in a drill

UNSPSC 27112845 Drill bit set, a Commodity code, reflects state and local governments' procurement of professional-grade hand and power tools for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and departmental use — with drill bits appearing as component line items in broader tool-set acquisitions rather than standalone purchases. Issuing bodies across the tier include state procurement offices managing cooperative purchasing systems (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Dallas). The work involves supplying master tool sets with specified piece counts and component breakdowns (including drill bits among wrenches, pliers, hammers, and screwdrivers), individual hand tools ordered on as-needed or indefinite-delivery basis, and power tools in battery-powered, air-powered, and corded variants. Vendors must typically demonstrate five to seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanics tools, maintain statewide distribution capability with expedited repair or replacement service, provide manufacturer authorization letters, and hold adequate inventory to meet delivery windows that can range from five business days to thirty days depending on the jurisdiction. Contracts generally require new products in first-class condition with manufacturer warranties of ten years or longer, firm pricing with allowances for annual CPI or Producer Price Index adjustments, and compliance with local preference programs where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted an IFB on June 11, 2026 for master tool sets and individual tools with a June 11, 2026 deadline, seeking award to multiple vendors through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system for use across TxDOT and higher education institutions statewide through July 31, 2030 (with renewal options). Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB on June 2, 2026 for 52 line items of hand tools with a June 23, 2026 due date and an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41. The City of Dallas solicited on March 26, 2026 for a 60-month indefinite-delivery master agreement for hand and power tools with an April 24, 2026 deadline and a local preference program allowing Dallas-based vendors within 5 percent of the lowest bid.
