UNSPSC 27121814: Compression die adaptor

Adaptor used in compression tools to allow different styles of dies to be inserted in jaw of tool.

UNSPSC 27121814 Compression die adaptor is a Commodity code that encompasses mechanical fastening and assembly equipment components procured by state and local jurisdictions for operational and maintenance use. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying hand tools, tool accessories, and law enforcement equipment components — the latter including items that support field operations and equipment assembly across public-sector agencies. The issuing bodies span cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit), county water districts, county law enforcement, and multi-jurisdictional frameworks that serve school districts, transit authorities, and municipal governments. The scope of work reflects both direct operational procurement (inventory replenishment for maintenance operations) and cooperative framework agreements that establish standardized contracting terms for equipment sourcing across multiple entity types.

Recent activity concentrates in California and the Pacific Northwest, with a broader national footprint through Sourcewell's cooperative framework. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California issued RFB 3911 on April 1, 2026 for inventory tools and tool accessories with a response deadline of April 17, 2026; the five-year term includes firm fixed pricing for year one with limited annual increases capped at three percent. Sourcewell, representing participating entities across Washington, California, and other states, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; this cooperative solicitation serves thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. Both opportunities reflect standard state and local procurement practices including electronic submission, performance standards (80 percent on-time delivery and 98 percent quality for EMWD), and open competitive bidding with no stated set-asides or incumbent vendor restrictions.
