UNSPSC 21101506: Graders or land levelers

UNSPSC 21101506 Graders or land levelers, a Commodity code, covers motor graders and related grading equipment that state and local road departments, counties, and municipalities procure for road maintenance, resurfacing, and construction operations. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying new motor graders as single-unit purchases, multi-unit acquisitions with extended warranties, and 36-month leases, alongside master contracts bundling graders with complementary asphalt and road-construction equipment (rotary millers, pavers, compactors, concrete saws, and road wideners). Issuing bodies include county road and bridge departments, state procurement offices establishing cooperative master contracts, and municipal public works divisions. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services dominates the recent activity with a five-year indefinite-quantity joint purchase master contract (IFB 27-416-CMS-BOSS4-B-52918, due August 12, 2026) covering multiple equipment lines and requiring a 4% Business Enterprise Program participation goal. Georgia counties represent the majority of single-unit and multi-unit motor grader solicitations, reflecting sustained replacement and expansion demand within the state.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where Seminole County, Colquitt County, Tattnall County, and Elbert County posted sealed-bid motor grader procurements between late April and early July 2026, with response dates ranging from late April through mid-July. Illinois and California (Santa Clara County) round out the recent activity, the latter focused on broader pavement rehabilitation projects incorporating grading components. The Illinois CMS master contract, posted July 8, 2026 with a pre-bid webinar scheduled July 21, 2026, establishes pricing via manufacturer's suggested retail price discounts firm for six months post-execution, with F.O.B. Destination delivery to any location within Illinois on orders of $500 or more and a March 1, 2027 effective date. Representative single-unit procurements include Seminole County's motor grader sealed bid (due July 14, 2026) and Colquitt County's two-unit purchase with slopers (due June 30, 2026, with five-year warranty and guaranteed buyback pricing), reflecting typical county road-department replacement cycles. Elbert County leased a single motor grader under a 36-month agreement (bids due June 4, 2026), signaling willingness to finance equipment rather than purchase outright.
