UNSPSC 21101713: Cotton ginning machine

Machine that separates rapid and easily cotton fibers from cotton husks and sticky seeds, it uses a screen and some wire hooks that push cotton while some brushes remove loose cotton threads to prevent obstructions.

UNSPSC 21101713 Cotton ginning machine is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single relevant solicitation in the recent record is the University of Georgia's October 2026 RFQ for two Wintersteiger Quantum Pro plot combines, parts, and services—equipment used in agricultural research and crop breeding rather than commercial cotton ginning. The other three opportunities in the recent block are unrelated: a county purchasing office relocation notice, a cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement through Sourcewell, and a school nutrition program food bid. The code shows little active state and local demand for cotton ginning machinery itself, and the one agricultural equipment solicitation on record targets specialized research combines rather than ginning equipment proper.

The University of Georgia's RFQ (51800ERFQ0020112027), due October 20, 2026, is the only concrete opportunity under this code. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing inclusive of all costs and FOB Destination shipping to Perry and Tifton, Georgia. Prospective bidders must direct all questions to the University of Georgia Procurement Office through the solicitation portal. The absence of additional recent opportunities in Georgia, other southeastern states, or cotton-producing regions suggests this code does not drive material procurement volume in state and local markets. Business development professionals should verify whether their offering aligns with agricultural research equipment procurement rather than commercial cotton processing, and monitor the University of Georgia's repeat buying patterns if that segment is relevant.
