UNSPSC 21101700: Agricultural machinery for harvesting

UNSPSC 21101700 Agricultural machinery for harvesting is a Class code covering grounds maintenance equipment, landscape mowers, and turf implements that state and local governments procure for municipal facility upkeep, water utility grounds, airport operations, highway corridor maintenance, and county conservation sites. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing zero-turn riding mowers, flail mowers, remote-controlled slope mowers, tractor attachments (harrows, tillers, cutters), and boom-mounted clearing equipment. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of transportation and management services, county governments, municipalities, airport authorities, school systems, and special districts. Florida jurisdictions dominate recent activity—the state Department of Management Services has posted two statewide agriculture and lawn equipment term-contract ITBs (responses due September 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026, with current annual spend averaging $4.8 million), and Hillsborough County has issued a sole-source procurement for John Deere 4075R tractor attachments (response due October 20, 2026). Other recent buyers include the Town of Groton, Connecticut; Savannah Airport Commission; City of Arlington; Douglas County, Georgia; and Rhode Island Department of Transportation.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Connecticut, with activity also present in Maine, Rhode Island, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Florida Department of Management Services' statewide agriculture and lawn equipment ITB (26-25101900-ITB-V2, responses due October 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, covering 20 commodity groups spanning zero-turn mowers, utility tractors, specialty equipment, and implements with estimated annual spend of $4.8 million); Savannah Airport Commission's RFQ for one remote slope mower with flail implement (RFQ 2026-0036, responses due October 9, 2026, with Local Small Business Entity preference); and Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for three John Deere 4075R tractor attachments (response due October 20, 2026, estimated value $17,175.00). The Rhode Island Department of Transportation also solicited two remote-controlled slope mowers with trailers (RFQ, responses due June 16, 2026, with mandatory 15% MBE/WBE participation requirement). Delivery timelines vary from same-day assembly and delivery to 180 days for extended-lead equipment; statewide term contracts typically run three years with renewal options. Small-business set-asides and local-vendor preferences appear in multiple jurisdictions; Florida applies business-tax-compliance and drug-free workplace certifications as tie-breakers on equal bids.
