UNSPSC 21111603: Seed attaching machine

Equipment for attaching and inserting seedlings (seeds, spores, eggs, etc.) into objects or equipment for the cultivation or production of aquatic organisms.

UNSPSC 21111603 Seed attaching machine is a Commodity code that encompasses tractor-mounted and trailed implements used by state and local governments for grounds maintenance, agricultural operations, and conservation site management. State and local buyers under this code procure rotary tillers, disk harrows, rotary cutters, hay and forage equipment, and specialized implements for fleet tractors operated by county conservation departments, school districts, municipal grounds crews, and state recreation areas. The mix of recent issuing bodies reflects county governments as the dominant buyer, with Hillsborough County appearing multiple times for tractor attachment procurement; activity also includes state agencies (Colorado Department of Corrections, Texas Historical Commission), school districts (Rockwood School District, Saginaw Public Schools), and independent park and recreation authorities (Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area).

Recent solicitations concentrate in the Southeast and Texas. Hillsborough County issued sole-source procurements for John Deere 4075R tractor attachments (one tandem disk harrow, one rotary cutter, one rotary tiller) at $17,175.00 estimated cost with a challenge deadline of October 20, 2026 under Section 3-205(2)(e) of the County's Procurement Policy, and earlier awarded three GR Manufacturing Forestry Packages for John Deere 5120M tractors at $26,850.00 with a September 17, 2026 challenge deadline. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued an Invitation for Bid for one Reinke Center Pivot Irrigation System with electrical and waterline installation due May 26, 2026. The Texas Historical Commission solicited tractor equipment and attachments for Fort McKavett State Historic Site with an April 23, 2026 deadline. Fort Bend County requested bids on rotary mowers with an August 11, 2026 due date, and Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area solicited one commercial-grade zero-turn mower with an August 19, 2026 deadline. Most procurements are one-time equipment purchases with firm pricing requirements, delivery FOB destination, and manufacturer-authorized dealer prerequisites; sole-source justifications center on authorized dealer networks and proprietary equipment integration with existing tractor fleets.
