UNSPSC 22101531: Snow blowers

UNSPSC 22101531 Snow blowers, a Commodity code, describes equipment state and local governments procure for winter operations—primarily self-propelled or tractor-mounted snowblowers ranging from walk-behind residential units to heavy equipment with loader-mounted or truck-mounted configurations capable of clearing broad corridor widths. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies deploying this equipment for municipal street and sidewalk clearance, highway and trail grooming, and operational readiness at border protection and maintenance facilities. Issuing bodies span town departments of public works, state parks and recreation commissions, and state agricultural departments. The Town of Enfield, Connecticut Department of Public Works and the California Department of Food and Agriculture appear as repeat buyers; the Enfield RFP solicited seasonal contracts for multiple operators and vehicles equipped with snowblowers alongside plow trucks, while CDFA issued parallel RFQs in May and July 2026 for Honda electric-start snowblowers and accessories to support the Truckee Border Protection Station.

Recent activity concentrates in Connecticut and California, with supplementary trail-grooming activity in Washington State.
