UNSPSC 31171603: Drill bushings

UNSPSC 31171603 Drill bushings is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses broader hand-tool and tool-set procurement — specifically master tool sets and individual hand tools for fleet maintenance, infrastructure work, and general maintenance operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited master tool sets containing 1,152+ pieces for TxDOT and other state agencies and institutions of higher education, including minimum specifications for drive tools, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, pullers, punches, chisels, hammers, drill bits, pneumatic power tools, tap and die sets, and roll cabs with tool chests; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an IFB for 52 line items of hand tools including pry bars, hammers, wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, and shovels for warehouse distribution throughout the county. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices administering cooperative purchasing vehicles (Texas SmartBuy in the Texas case), county governments, and likely other municipal and special-purpose jurisdictions, though the recent-opportunities block names only these two.

The code shows activity primarily in Texas and Florida. The Texas CPA procurement was posted June 11, 2026, with responses due the same day and potential awards to multiple vendors across five line items; the contract term runs through July 31, 2027, with renewal options through July 31, 2030, and vendors must demonstrate seven years' experience in professional-grade mechanic tools, statewide distribution and repair capability within 24 hours, and provide ten-year warranties with FOB Destination pricing and a 1.5 percent SmartBuy administrative fee. The Hillsborough County IFB, posted June 2, 2026, with bids due June 23, 2026, carries an estimated value of $715,540.41 over five years with five-business-day delivery to warehouse locations; award goes to the single lowest responsive bidder, and the contract is non-exclusive with permitted CPI-U price adjustments.
