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 that encompasses hand tools, lifting equipment, and small maintenance hardware that state and local governments procure for facilities and fleet operations. Recent solicitations show actual purchasing ranges from hand trucks and lifting hooks to broader MRO consumables bundled with facility maintenance supplies. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, and county-level functional divisions across general facilities management, fire departments, water resources, and elections operations. The code captures both standalone tool procurements via informal written quotations and tool components within larger blanket purchase order frameworks covering multiple maintenance supply categories.

Geographic activity centers on California, Georgia, and Minnesota-based jurisdictions. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26-229 on July 10, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) for blanket purchase orders across five MRO supply categories including general workshop tools and parts for a five-year term under California prevailing wage and recycled-content standards. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted two separate informal written quotations within the same window: IWQ 128183 for 125 Gunnebo lifting hooks (posted April 1, 2026, due April 3, 2026) and IWQ 125617 for 175 Cosco hand trucks (posted March 11, 2026, due March 17, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment serving multiple Washington state counties and broader participating entities, though this opportunity shows minimal alignment with the general workshop tools scope. Recent procurement activity reflects mix of rapid-cycle informal quotations for specific tool models and longer-term blanket purchase agreements that bundle tools within broader facilities-maintenance frameworks.
