UNSPSC 27112847: Die case

Carrying case for hydraulic compression dies.

UNSPSC 27112847 Die case (Commodity) covers die sets, tap and die kits, and related precision threading and forming tools that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, facilities operations, and skilled trades work. Recent solicitations show die cases bundled with broader hand tool and power tool procurement, where they appear as components within master mechanic tool sets rather than as standalone line items. State and local buyers acquire these tools through cooperative purchasing agreements, master service agreements, and term contracts that serve multiple departments and agencies simultaneously. The issuing bodies span state procurement divisions managing statewide cooperative systems, county purchasing offices, and municipal procurement bureaus. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procures die sets and flaring kits as part of comprehensive master tool sets for TxDOT and other state agencies and higher education institutions through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system. Hillsborough County and the City of Dallas source hand tools and power tools for departmental operations through individual county and municipal contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller's statewide procurement (ITB 304T26445A1, due June 11, 2026) requires bidders to supply tap and die sets minimum specifications as components of professional-grade master tool sets with seven years' documented experience in the mechanic tools business, statewide 24-hour repair capability, and ten-year warranties. Hillsborough County (ITB 26-00285, due June 23, 2026) procures hand tools under a five-year term valued at $715,540.41 with five-business-day delivery to county warehouses. The City of Dallas (BL26-00029896, due April 24, 2026) established a sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement for hand and power tools across all city departments with twenty-four-hour emergency delivery capability and a local preference program available for Dallas-based vendors within 5 percent of the lowest responsive bid. All three solicitations structure pricing as firm or discount-based catalogs with annual CPI or producer price index adjustments permitted during the contract term.
