UNSPSC 27113200: Tool kits

UNSPSC 27113200 Tool kits is a Class code covering professional-grade tool sets and hand tools that state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, and operational use across fleet, facilities, and emergency-response operations. State and local buyers under this code solicit both pre-assembled master tool sets with standardized component counts and individual hand tools on an as-needed basis, typically through multi-year, non-exclusive ITB and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies include county governments, state transportation and procurement departments, and other state agencies using cooperative purchasing agreements. Suppliers must be authorized distributors capable of meeting brand specifications, providing warranty support, and delivering within tight timeframes (five to ten business days standard delivery). Performance bonds and bid surety are generally not required, though commercial general liability insurance and compliance with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements are standard.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procured master tool sets and individual tools for the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative system (ITB 304T-26-445A1, due June 11, 2026, covering five line items with estimated value not specified but requiring minimum seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools and statewide on-site repair capability within 24 hours). Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited hand tools for county operations under ITB-26-00285 (due June 23, 2026, estimated value $715,540.41 over five years, covering 52 line items with brand-name specifications and annual CPI-U adjustments) and janitorial and operational supplies including tools for 47 fire stations under ITB-26-00319 (due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84 for one year). Both Hillsborough County contracts permit sharing with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms.
