UNSPSC 21100000: Agricultural and forestry and landscape machinery and equipment

UNSPSC 21100000 Agricultural and forestry and landscape machinery and equipment is a Family code under which state and local governments buy tractor attachments, specialized mowers, brush and debris removal equipment, irrigation systems, landscape maintenance machinery, and parts and repair services for grounds operations and environmental conservation work. The issuing bodies range from county boards, state environmental and wildlife divisions, municipal departments of public works, school districts, and state historic commissions. Recent solicitations show Hillsborough County procuring John Deere tractor attachments and forestry packages; the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources contracting for large-scale shrub seedling planting services; the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation staging equipment demonstrations and seeking battery-powered landscape tools; and the City of Austin establishing a Kubota parts and repair framework. Kansas Turnpike Authority and the Town of Groton, Connecticut are purchasing new tractors and commercial mowers respectively, while the Missouri Department of Transportation is procuring engine-driven trailer-mounted sprayer systems. These procurements span single-source awards under authorized dealer policies, competitive sealed bids, invitations for quotation, and request-for-information fact-gathering exercises. Equipment specifications are often model-specific—John Deere 4075R and 5120M tractors, Ventrac 4520N units, Kubota M7 and M130 series, zero-turn diesel mowers with 70+ inch decks—with delivery typically F.O.B. destination and firm pricing through project completion.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Florida (Hillsborough County), Utah (multiple Division of Wildlife Resources contracts), Massachusetts (state agency demonstrations and RFQs), Texas (Austin, Kansas Turnpike Authority administrative offices in Kansas, Missouri DOT operations), Connecticut, Colorado, and Rhode Island. Hillsborough County and the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources appear as repeat issuers. Recent competitive procurements emphasize lowest-cost evaluation, specification compliance, warranty terms, and dealer authorization or manufacturer status; sole-source awards justify through exclusive authorized-dealer networks. Set-asides and preferences include local business discounts (City of Austin, Massachusetts cooperative purchasing), minority/women business enterprise participation requirements (RIDOT, Sacramento County), service-disabled veteran enterprise recognition (Colorado, Rhode Island), and living wage program compliance (Austin). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's sole-source award to EFE for John Deere 4075R tractor attachments at $17,175 (ITQ closure October 20, 2026); the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' IFB for 35,500 shrub seedlings at three Central Utah locations (closure October 12, 2026); Town of Groton's ITB for one commercial diesel zero-turn riding mower with 5% local preference (closure October 26, 2026); and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's RFI for landscape maintenance equipment demonstrations at three state park locations (closure October 20, 2026).
