UNSPSC 27121810: Hydraulic hand crimp tool

A hydraulic tool designed to crimp connectors onto a cable.

UNSPSC 27121810 Hydraulic hand crimp tool is a Commodity code covering manually operated crimping devices used to terminate or join hydraulic hose and fitting assemblies. State and local governments purchase these tools primarily through law enforcement equipment cooperative agreements and general maintenance procurement channels. The issuing bodies under this code include county sheriffs' departments, municipal police agencies, transit authorities, and state law enforcement bureaus, typically buying these tools as components of broader tactical or utility equipment packages rather than as standalone line items. Purchasing patterns reflect ongoing replacement and standardization needs across jurisdictions that maintain hydraulic systems in patrol vehicles, emergency response equipment, and facility infrastructure.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota state cooperative purchasing vehicle, is the primary recent issuing body, posting RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution for use by Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities nationwide and in Canada. The cooperative structure allows thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments to access the resulting contract. No specific set-asides, award values, or incumbent vendor data appear in the available documentation. Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest regions where cooperative purchasing frameworks such as Sourcewell coordinate multi-jurisdictional procurement, though the scope extends nationwide through the participating-addendum model.
