UNSPSC 21102503: Irrigation parts and accessories

UNSPSC 21102503 Irrigation parts and accessories (Commodity) encompasses smart controllers, control panels, pump stations, conduit, tree hydration mats, and related system components that state and local governments procure for landscape and turf irrigation installations, upgrades, and maintenance across parks, golf courses, municipal facilities, and right-of-way properties. Issuing bodies span city parks and recreation departments, county maintenance divisions, school districts, special-purpose authorities, and state transportation agencies. Work being solicited ranges from single-unit replacements of aging controllers to comprehensive system overhauls and on-call maintenance frameworks, with a marked recent shift toward smart, weather-responsive irrigation technology. The City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source for TreeDiapers advanced hydration tree mats in October 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools solicited landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services via ITB 26246ITBMST with an August 5 due date; and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority released an RFP for Calsense Irrigation Controller upgrades at two Atlanta-area facilities with a mandatory September 25 pre-proposal site visit and October 7 proposal deadline.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon, with California showing particular density through Caltrans procurement. San Diego County and Caltrans issued overlapping smart controller set-asides (IFPQ 11A4443 due October 2, 2026, and IFPQ 11A4434 due September 4, 2026 for $484,000 maximum bid) restricted to certified small businesses and disabled veteran enterprises, both requiring C-27 Landscaping or Class A General Engineering licenses. The City of Pembroke Pines, Florida solicited a PSI Duplex Control Panel for $12,000 estimated cost with an August 19 Quick Quote deadline. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued dual RFPs—one for on-call irrigation installation and maintenance services (RFP 27-0010 due September 30) and another for annual plumbing and irrigation supplies (RFP 27-0007 due September 2). County of Orange, California conducted an IFB for smart controllers and master valves at Mile Square Regional Park with HydroPoint certification requirements, May 19 bid closing, and 5–8 percent local and disabled veteran business preferences. The Caltrans and San Diego County procurements emphasize prevailing-wage compliance, proof of active contractor licensing, and equipment warranties; cooperative purchasing extensions appear in several awards. Geographic concentration in California reflects robust water-conservation policy and ag-extension procurement, while Florida activity tracks municipal park and school irrigation modernization. Set-aside activity favors small business, micro business, and disabled veteran designations; no federal set-asides appear.
