Delivering touch attack spells with a melee attack

The Daggerspell Mage and Daggerspell Shaper have the ability to deliver Touch attack spells with a melee attack of their dagger. And a mage with an imbued staff familiar can deliver Touch attacks with a melee attack of their staff (applying quarterstaff damage too). Are there other feats, magic items or PrCs that would do the same? Thanks!

With no feats required you can deliver touch attack spells as an unarmed attack dealing punching damage (or monk damage).

Remember, if you miss the normal AC then you don't get to discharge the touch spell even if you would have hit the touch AC.

I don't recall where I saw this (possibly CArc) but if you crit on your attack you only double weapon damage, not spell damage. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Also the Duskblade in PHII has the ability to deliver spells through the weapon.
 

Complete Arcane has the weapon-like spell rules.

The Spellsword (Complete Warrior?) can channel spells through a melee weapon.
 

Smiting Spell (from PHBII) also allows you to do this, and if you miss, you have a minute to hit before it goes away. You can do it with ranged weapons as well, but one miss and that's it.
