UNSPSC 21101503: Cultivators

UNSPSC 21101503 Cultivators, a Commodity code, encompasses soil preparation, planting, and ongoing crop maintenance services that state and local governments procure for property stewardship and agricultural operations. The recent opportunities show a narrow but concrete scope: active cultivation and maintenance of municipally owned or controlled land, including weed control, soil management, and seasonal plantings on green infrastructure and farmland. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include municipalities (cities and counties), special-purpose authorities managing public facilities, and school districts. The issuing bodies are dispersed across different sectors and geographies rather than concentrated in a single agency type or region.

Recent activity includes the City of Lubbock issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a cash farm lease covering approximately 40 acres near the South Water Treatment Plant Site, with bids due March 17, 2026, seeking operators to prepare, plant, and cultivate land in a farmer-like manner while controlling noxious weeds; and Events DC soliciting bids for green roof maintenance at CareFirst Arena on the St. Elizabeth's East Campus in Congress Heights, due June 23, 2026, requiring monthly maintenance March through November on approximately 21,000 square feet of installed green roof including cultivation, trimming, pruning, weeding, soil testing, and nutrient management. Texas and the District of Columbia show recent documented activity under the code. The Events DC green roof contract requires a lead technician with OSHA 10 training, workers' compensation and general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, and submission of stewardship reports within seven business days after each service visit; the Lubbock farm lease contract offers local preference consideration under Texas Local Government Code 271.9051 and requires three professional references. Both contracts establish multi-year base terms with optional renewal periods.
