UNSPSC 27121800: Hydraulic tools

UNSPSC 27121800 Hydraulic tools, a Class code, covers hand tools, power tools, and tool accessories that state and local governments purchase for ongoing maintenance, fleet operations, and facility management. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying master mechanic tool sets with hundreds of pieces, individual hand tools ranging from wrenches and screwdrivers to pry bars and shovels, power tools in battery-powered and pneumatic variants, diagnostic and specialized equipment including tubing and flaring sets, and lifting hardware such as sling hooks. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida, Gwinnett County in Georgia), state agencies and institutions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts coordinating procurement for the Texas Department of Transportation and higher education), municipalities (City of Dallas), special-purpose districts (Eastern Municipal Water District in California), and school districts (School Board of Polk County). Hillsborough County appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate solicitations for hand tools and janitorial supplies within the recent window.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB-26-00285 for hand tools with an estimated value of $715,540.41 over five years, due June 23, 2026; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing IFB 304T-26-445A1 for master tool sets and individual tools through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing system, due June 11, 2026, serving TxDOT and higher education across the state; Eastern Municipal Water District issuing RFB 3911 for inventory tools and tool accessories with a five-year contract term and responses due April 16, 2026; and City of Dallas issuing solicitation BL26-00029896 for hand and power tools and supplies under a sixty-month master agreement, due April 24, 2026. The Texas SmartBuy procurement permits multiple awards across line items and includes pre-proposal conferences and formalized Q&A cycles. Contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery, and performance standards such as on-time delivery thresholds and quality metrics; annual price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index are common for multi-year terms.
