UNSPSC 27113105: Spring expander

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

UNSPSC 27113105 Spring expander is a Commodity-code category showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The nominal code describes spring expanders—mechanical fastening or tension devices—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span unrelated product families: hand tools (shovels, hammers, saws, wrenches), janitorial supplies, woodshop warehouse fixtures, plumbing and HVAC parts, and outdoor electrical circuit breakers. Issuing bodies posting under the code include Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Texas Department of Transportation), Florida county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and Georgia municipalities (City of Augusta). The geographic footprint centers on Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia. No recent opportunities actually solicit spring expanders or comparable mechanical tensioning products.

The code shows little relevant current activity for business development purposes. Recent solicitations mislabeled under 27113105 include Hillsborough County's five-year hand tools ITB-26-00285 (IFB, response due June 23, 2026; $715,540.41 estimated value), the Texas Comptroller's statewide master tool sets and individual tools procurement 304T-26-445A1 (ITB, response due June 11, 2026, via Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's blanket contract for HVAC and plumbing parts, tools, and supplies (IFB HHS0017441, due June 29, 2026, at Rusk State Hospital). The code taxonomy appears to be misapplied across these solicitations, suggesting either outdated or incorrect UNSPSC assignment in the state and local procurement systems. Firms selling actual spring expanders or tension fasteners should not rely on this code for lead generation and should verify alternative UNSPSC classification with purchasing offices directly.
