UNSPSC 27113105: Spring expander

A type of equipment used to extend the spring to the required length.

UNSPSC 27113105 Spring expander (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source records show solicitations for janitorial supplies, HVAC and plumbing parts, hand and power tools, master tool sets, lifting hooks, and CNC training equipment—none of which are spring expanders. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the goods actually being procured suggests either tagging error or that spring expanders represent a negligible portion of state and local purchasing under this Commodity designation. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit spring expanders or related mechanical fastening or expansion devices.

The recent activity under this code spans state departments, counties, municipal utilities, school districts, and special districts across Florida, Texas, California, and Georgia. Repeat issuers include Hillsborough County (Florida), which posted two solicitations for hand tools and janitorial supplies, and the Texas state procurement system (HHSC and the Comptroller's office). Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00285 for 52 line items of hand tools, due June 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $715,540.41 over five years; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017441 for HVAC and plumbing parts for Rusk State Hospital, due June 29, 2026, with an estimated value up to $40,000; the City of Dallas BL26-00029896 for a sixty-month master agreement covering hand and power tools, due April 24, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's master tool set procurement through SmartBuy for state agencies, due June 11, 2026. Given the absence of spring-expander-specific solicitations and the categorical mismatch, this code warrants watch-only status pending clarification of its actual procurement scope.
