UNSPSC 31162918: Power clamp

A type of clamp that applies maximum force in a single movement.

UNSPSC 31162918 Power clamp (Commodity) appears in recent state and local solicitations for hand tools and operational supplies, though the code's nominal scope and the actual work being purchased show significant mismatch. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has posted two recent ITBs that tag power clamps alongside pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, shovels, brooms, brushes, buckets, and abrasive rolls — a general hand-tool and consumable-supply category rather than power-clamp-specific procurement. The county is soliciting ongoing, as-needed purchases of these items for operational use across county departments and fire rescue operations, with delivery required within five business days of purchase order receipt to multiple warehouse locations throughout Hillsborough County. Bidders must be authorized distributors, provide backorder and recall information, meet brand-name specifications where required, and quote pricing free-on-board to county delivery locations with no guaranteed minimum purchases.

Hillsborough County dominates recent activity under this code, issuing ITB-26-00319 (Janitorial and Operational Supplies, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84 for one year) and ITB-26-00285 (Hand Tools, due June 23, 2026, estimated value $715,540.41 for five years). The hand-tools ITB comprises 52 line items and awards to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the janitorial supplies ITB may award by line item, group, or overall total at the county's discretion. Both contracts may be extended to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council. No recent opportunities from other states or jurisdictions appear in the available record, limiting visibility into broader geographic demand for this commodity.
