UNSPSC 21101501: Ploughs

UNSPSC 21101501 Ploughs, a Commodity code, sees state and local procurement activity concentrated on utility tractors and disc implements rather than traditional ploughing equipment. Recent opportunities frame the actual buying as acquisition of new, fully equipped mid-sized to utility-class tractors with loader packages, specialized transmissions, hydraulic remotes, and cab amenities for parks, corrections facilities, and municipal public works operations. Issuing bodies include state park systems (Illinois Department of Natural Resources), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Butts County and Williamson County in Georgia and Texas), and municipalities (City of Bainbridge, Georgia). The code shows no school districts or transit authorities in recent activity.

Activity spans Illinois, Georgia, and Texas between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' short-window RFQ for Dixon Springs State Park requesting one mid-sized utility tractor with 90 HP minimum, loader with grapple and bucket attachments, and delivery by October 9, 2026 (posted October 5); the City of Bainbridge's IFB for one new utility tractor with FPT engine, Tier 4 B emissions, Category 2 rear lift, and delivery by June 11, 2026; Butts County's re-bid ITB for one new John Deere 5090E Cab Tractor 4x4 with 90 HP diesel, shuttle transmission, and 60-day delivery timeframe, closed June 11, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for the purchase of one disc, due October 8, 2026. All recent awards require manufacturer's warranty, operator training, delivery to destination, and compliance with state certifications including debarment, tax law, and environmental standards.
