UNSPSC 27113303: General workshop consumable tools

Workshop consumable tools are a category of tools that are used frequently in a workshop and need to be replaced regularly due to wear and tear. They are generally small, hand-held tools that are used to perform tasks such as cutting, drilling, grinding, and fastening.

UNSPSC 27113303 General workshop consumable tools is a Commodity code covering hand tools, tool sets, and consumable workshop supplies that state and local governments procure for educational institutions, maintenance operations, and field work. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing pre-assembled tool sets with specialized packaging and warranties, blanket MRO supply contracts spanning multiple tool and supply categories, and cooperative framework agreements for law enforcement equipment including tools and related hardware. The mix of issuing bodies includes community colleges within state university systems, municipal departments, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions across state lines.

Activity appears concentrated in New York and California, with multi-state cooperative procurement also present. Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC), a State University of New York institution in Troy, posted RFP 27554 on September 4, 2026 seeking 24 aviation student starter tool sets with response due October 2, 2026; each set must include sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, files, LED flashlights, and magnetic retrieval tools in a lockable wheeled case meeting specific weight and dimension requirements, with technical compliance and pricing weighted equally at 50 percent each. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26-229 on July 17, 2026 for blanket purchase orders across five supply categories including general MRO supplies and maintenance tools, with responses due August 4, 2026 and a five-year contract term; the city intends to award multiple vendors per category and applies local purchasing preference within ten percent of the lowest responsible bid. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions nationwide for law enforcement equipment, with proposals due June 16, 2026.
