UNSPSC 21102200: Forestry machinery and equipment

UNSPSC 21102200 Forestry machinery and equipment is a Class code encompassing heavy-duty vegetation and land-clearing equipment that state and local governments procure for wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, hazard tree removal, and facility grounds maintenance. Recent solicitations show governments buying boom mowers, forestry tractors, tree-trimming equipment, sand pine removal services, and debris-clearance machinery. The Florida Department of Management Services and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services lead activity, issuing term contracts and single-source procurements for specialized forestry equipment. The scope spans new equipment with OEM options, parts, and accessories, with delivery and service-center requirements built into most awards. Equipment must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, EPA requirements, and state environmental regulations; contractors typically maintain factory-authorized service stations within the procuring state.

The recent activity concentrates heavily in Florida, with state-level procurement offices and conservation agencies driving demand. The Florida Department of Management Services posted a statewide agriculture and lawn equipment ITB in July 2026 (ITB 26-25101900-ITB, responses due September 1, 2026) and reissued it in September 2026 (ITB 26-25101900-ITB-V2, due October 27, 2026) covering 20 commodity groups including forestry equipment, with current annual spending averaging $4.8 million and contract terms of three years plus renewal.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services announced a single-source procurement with MowerMax Equipment Co. for one MowerMax Boom Mower Gen 4 at approximately $325,253.05, classified under this code and UNSPSC 21101701.
