UNSPSC 27121816: Hydraulic punch

Device used to drill holes in steel plates and beams using hydraulic pressure.

UNSPSC 27121816 Hydraulic punch is a Commodity code covering hand-operated and power-driven hydraulic punching tools used in construction, maintenance, and fleet operations. State and local governments procure hydraulic punches as part of broader tool and equipment packages to support maintenance shops, garages, transportation fleets, and construction operations. The code appears in solicitations from educational service districts, state transportation departments, and statewide procurement divisions coordinating purchases across multiple state agencies and higher-education institutions.

Recent activity shows hydraulic punches solicited as line items within larger master tool sets and portable equipment procurements. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-445A1 in June 2026 on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies through the Texas SmartBuy cooperative purchasing vehicle, requesting master tool sets with a minimum of 31 punches and chisels as part of a comprehensive garage and fleet maintenance package; responses closed June 11, 2026. Educational Service District 564 in Texas posted Solicitation CM0227 in October 2026 for portable construction and maintenance equipment to support regional operations, with bids due November 19, 2026. Both solicitations emphasize firm, all-inclusive pricing, statewide delivery, and ten-year warranties on tools in first-class condition. Geographic activity centers on Texas, where state agencies coordinate purchasing through cooperative vehicles and regional service districts.
