UNSPSC 21101504: Weeders

UNSPSC 21101504 Weeders is a Commodity-tier code that state and local governments procure primarily as repair parts and replacement components for landscape maintenance and agricultural equipment rather than as standalone consumer tools. Recent solicitations show purchasing focused on harrow and plow repair parts, equipment catalog discounts spanning multiple manufacturers including John Deere and Toro, and integrated procurement within broader equipment maintenance and rental frameworks. State and local issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, state transportation and forestry agencies, and county departments of assets and infrastructure. The code appears in cooperative purchasing agreements and multi-jurisdiction equipment repair contracts, indicating consolidation around centralized vendor relationships rather than frequent individual solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with notable procurement from Georgia (Georgia Forestry Commission's harrow and plow parts bid, February 2026), California (Caltrans District 6 weed abatement services in Kings County, with bid due March 17, 2026 after addendum extension), and New Jersey (Bergen County's 24-month cooperative equipment repair parts and services re-bid, due February 25, 2026). The Georgia Forestry Commission established an Open Agency Contract for harrow and plow repair parts with deliveries to multiple locations statewide, emphasizing shipping-inclusive pricing with estimated quantities only. Bergen County's cooperative re-bid for equipment repair across 70-plus manufacturers' catalogs, running 24 months with no minimum purchases guaranteed, represents a larger-scale model. The Caltrans weed abatement services in Kings County included mechanical and chemical invasive species treatment, groundcover planting, irrigation system upgrades, and traffic control with a maximum bid cap of $461,000 and a 25 percent Small Business participation goal plus 3 percent Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation requirement.
