UNSPSC 12162003: Agricultural oils

UNSPSC 12162003 Agricultural oils is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, encompasses pesticides, fertilizers, and certified seed blends purchased for landscape and turf management operations. The Town of Groton, Connecticut's procurement for Shennecossett Golf Course illustrates the actual scope: 41 pesticide items, 13 fertilizer products in bags and liquid formulations, and four certified seed blend options. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code include municipal departments responsible for parks, golf courses, and grounds maintenance. The code sees limited recent visibility in the opportunities tracked, with activity concentrated in specialized facilities management contexts rather than broad procurement volume.

Geographic activity appears limited to Connecticut based on the most recent solicitation. The Town of Groton issued Invitation to Bid 26-17 on February 27, 2026, for Shennecossett Golf Course agricultural products with a March 30, 2026 response deadline and a one-year contract term running through March 31, 2027. Sealed bids were to be submitted to Karl Klein, Purchasing Agent, with FOB destination delivery to the golf course at 284 Plant Street, Groton, Connecticut. The Town implemented a local vendor preference allowing qualified Groton-based bidders within 5 percent of the lowest bid price to match that price and receive the award. No estimated contract value, incumbent vendor, or set-asides were disclosed. A second opportunity posted in April 2026 — Santa Clara County's Request for Information for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution — appears misaligned with this code's nominal scope and does not reflect procurement activity relevant to agricultural products.
