UNSPSC 27113300: Precision hand tools

Includes hand tools used in precision industrial or commercial work excluding laboratory, scientific or medical work.

UNSPSC 27113300 Precision hand tools is a Class code encompassing hand tools that state and local governments procure for maintenance, construction, fleet repair, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing shovels, hammers, axes, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, pry bars, pliers, files, and related implements either as individual items or as part of larger master tool sets for mechanics and maintenance crews. The mix of issuing bodies includes county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), city procurement offices (City of Augusta, Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation via the Texas Comptroller), and special-purpose authorities. Texas agencies appear frequently in recent activity, driven by blanket-contract procurement through state health and higher-education systems and cooperative purchasing vehicles.
