UNSPSC 27113201: General tool kits

UNSPSC 27113201 General tool kits is a Commodity code that covers master tool sets and curated hand-tool collections for maintenance, repair, and operational work — not individual tools sold piecemeal. State and local governments procure these kits primarily for fleet maintenance, facility operations, and field work at fire rescue, transportation, and facilities departments. Recent solicitations show two distinct procurement patterns: Hillsborough County has bought consumable janitorial supplies and individual hand tools in separate bids, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of TxDOT and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, has sought comprehensive master tool sets with 1,152+ pieces including hand tools, pneumatic power tools, diagnostic equipment, and roll-cab storage. The issuing bodies span county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners) and state-level cooperative purchasing (Texas CPA). Scope ranges from operational consumables in small quantities to professional-grade fleet maintenance kits designed for 24/7 heavy use across multiple locations.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida. Hillsborough County issued ITB 2600285 on June 2, 2026, due June 23, 2026, for hand tools (52 line items, estimated five-year value $715,540.41); the same county issued ITB 2600319 on July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026, for janitorial and operational supplies for Fire Rescue (one-year contract, $765,679.84). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-445A1, posted June 11, 2026, due June 11, 2026, sought master tool sets and individual tools through Texas SmartBuy with a contract term through July 31, 2027, plus four renewal options through 2030; respondents required a minimum of seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, 24-hour statewide repair capability, and ten-year warranties on all products. All three solicitations required free-on-board destination pricing, E-Verify or Drug-Free Workplace certification, and electronic bid submission. No minimum purchase quantities were guaranteed in any solicitation.
