UNSPSC 27113302: Bearing splitter

An automotive tool component or tool related to a bearing puller, which is a tool used to remove bearing sets from a rotating machine shaft or from a blind bearing hole. The most common application is removing a caged set of ball or tapered bearings from a rotating shaft, such as in a car's transmission.

UNSPSC 27113302 Bearing splitter, a Commodity code, nominally describes a mechanical hand tool used to separate bearing assemblies, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little substantive bearing-splitter purchasing. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly involve general hand-tool supply contracts and facility-maintenance supplies with no bearing-specific components. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-001 for an annual hand-tools contract due September 29, 2026, spanning 39 line items including shovels, hammers, axes, rakes, and saws with fixed pricing and optional renewal periods; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida released ITB-26-00285 for 52 line items of hand tools due June 23, 2026, with an estimated five-year contract value of $715,540.41 covering pry bars, brooms, brushes, buckets, hammers, wrenches, saws, and screwdrivers. The code also appears on records for broader maintenance-supply procurements, including Texas Health and Human Services Commission blanket orders for HVAC, plumbing, and general maintenance tools and hardware, none of which reference bearing splitters or bearing-related work. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procured master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system for TxDOT and state agencies, with the pre-proposal conference held May 28, 2026, emphasizing professional-grade mechanic tools but not bearing-specific equipment.

State and local activity under this code concentrates in Texas and Florida, driven by county and state purchasing offices and specialized transit or utility authorities. Augusta (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Comptroller represent the principal recent issuers. The code appears to function as a catch-all classification for general hand-tool and maintenance-supply contracts rather than a specialized category for bearing-removal equipment. Businesses evaluating pursuit should recognize that the code's nominal product—bearing splitters—has minimal apparent demand in state and local procurement; opportunities tagged to 27113302 are primarily large-volume, ongoing general hand-tool and facility-maintenance supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, CPI-indexed adjustment provisions, and multi-year terms. Responsive bidding requires exact brand-name and specification compliance, authorized distributor status, rapid delivery capability (typically five to fourteen days), and compliance with state affirmation and bonding requirements.
