UNSPSC 21101500: Agricultural machinery for soil preparation

UNSPSC 21101500 Agricultural machinery for soil preparation (Class) covers equipment and services state and local governments procure to prepare land for planting and ongoing agricultural stewardship. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specialized machinery—soil scarification and seeding equipment for native grassland restoration, compact utility tractors for facility grounds management, and agricultural spray drones for vegetation treatment—and contracting for land cultivation and maintenance services on owned or leased property. The issuing bodies span state natural resource agencies, special taxing districts operating medical facilities, county governments, municipalities, and school systems; the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, Halifax Health Medical Center, and the County of Orange represent standout recent buyers in this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and the broader Southeast and West. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission issued a single-source procurement for a Grasslander Native Seed Planter (March 4, 2026 response deadline, $94,000 estimated value) to establish wiregrass in forested habitat; Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach solicited bids for a compact utility tractor with loader through an ITB (May 11, 2026 deadline); the County of Orange, California, sought a DJI Agras T100 Agricultural Spray Drone system through an IFB (April 21, 2026 deadline, $55,679.26 not-to-exceed amount, five percent OCLSB/DVBE preference available); and the City of Lubbock, Texas, leased 40 acres of tillable land for cash-farming operations through an ITB (March 17, 2026 deadline). The code shows moderate recent activity with practical, equipment-focused procurement rather than large-scale civil construction or landscaping services.
