UNSPSC 21101506: Graders or land levelers

UNSPSC 21101506 Graders or land levelers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure motor graders under this code for road construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation work—typically new equipment or used machines of recent model years, sometimes as multi-unit purchases or leases spanning three to five years. The issuing bodies are predominantly county boards of supervisors and county road and bridge departments across rural and mid-sized jurisdictions, with one statewide multi-agency cooperative procurement (Sourcewell) and occasional special-purpose district participation such as the Florida Sheriffs Association. The work solicited includes new and used motor grader purchases with detailed specifications covering engine power (170–225+ HP), moldboard configuration (typically 12–14 feet), control types (joystick or steering wheel), scarifier attachments, and warranty or buyback terms. Several recent procurements bundle motor graders with financing or service packages—warranty periods of 36 months to 5 years, guaranteed buyback provisions, and service-location proximity requirements within 50 miles are common contract conditions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Mississippi. Colquitt County, Georgia solicited two new motor graders with slopers by June 30, 2026 (IFB); Seminole County, Georgia sought one new motor grader by July 14, 2026; Elbert County, Georgia issued a 36-month lease RFP due June 4, 2026. Neshoba County, Mississippi posted two separate sealed-bid opportunities for used 2021 model year or newer graders with response dates August 17 and September 8, 2026. The Florida Sheriffs Association issued a 24-month equipment procurement contract (IFB FSA26-EQU240) with a September 2, 2026 bid opening that includes motor graders alongside broader construction and grounds care equipment. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services procured grader-mounted rotary milling attachments as part of a statewide JPMC asphalt equipment contract (IFB 27-416-CMS-BOSS4-B-52918) with bids due August 12, 2026 and a 4% Business Enterprise Program participation goal. One California county (Santa Clara) solicited pavement rehabilitation including grading work on a major expressway corridor with bids due May 21, 2026.
