UNSPSC 21101503: Cultivators

UNSPSC 21101503 Cultivators is a Commodity code that describes equipment or services for soil cultivation and plant bed preparation. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal relevant activity; the opportunities posted include a departmental relocation notice unrelated to procurement, a green roof maintenance contract for Events DC in Washington, D.C., a law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing initiative through Sourcewell, bore and trenching services from the City of Brownsville, and a food products bid from Butts County School System in Georgia. Of these, only the Events DC green roof maintenance contract aligns substantially with the code's cultivators scope, encompassing monthly maintenance of approximately 21,000 square feet of installed green roof from March through November, including cultivation, trimming, pruning, weeding, soil testing, nutrient management, drain clearing, and supplemental sedum plantings performed Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., with a base term running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and four optional one-year renewals.

The Events DC green roof maintenance RFQ (Solicitation 25S049), due June 23, 2026, required submission of firm fixed monthly pricing, W-9, tax certification affidavit, ACH authorization form, DSLBD certification letter if applicable, three customer reference letters, and conflict-of-interest disclosure, with commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate mandated. The contract is subject to District of Columbia certification-based preference scoring with certified small businesses receiving 3 preference points, equity impact enterprises receiving 5 points, and maximum total preference points of 12; for contracts exceeding $250,000, awardees must subcontract at least 35% of contract value to certified Small Business Enterprises. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume overall, with issuing-body activity concentrated in specialized facilities management rather than general cultivator equipment or services procurement.
