UNSPSC 22101713: Backhoe boom or boom sections

UNSPSC 22101713 Backhoe boom or boom sections, a Commodity code, does not align closely with actual state and local procurement activity in the source opportunities. Of the five recent opportunities, only one directly involves backhoe equipment: the City of Norwich's August 2026 ITB 27-09 for a GEM 1.25 cubic yard Side Dump Bucket configured for a 2022 John Deere backhoe loader model 310SL, with bids due August 10, 2026. The remaining opportunities—Sourcewell's cooperative procurement for heavy and compact construction equipment (November 2026 due date), the City of Tucson's crane and hoist maintenance services, Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment solicitation, and Santa Clara County's pavement rehabilitation project—fall outside the scope of backhoe booms or boom sections. The Norwich procurement represents a narrow, equipment-specific buy involving a bolt-on bucket attachment for a named asset, not boom components themselves.

The code shows minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The Norwich solicitation is the only representative recent opportunity directly related to backhoe equipment procurement at the municipal level. Geographic spread is limited to Connecticut (Norwich) and Minnesota (Sourcewell's cooperative structure, which serves multiple jurisdictions but does not reflect recent demand specifically for backhoe boom components). The absence of state departments, county purchasing offices, or school districts seeking backhoe booms or boom sections in the recent opportunities block suggests that procurement under this Commodity code—if occurring—is either infrequent, distributed across untracked maintenance or capital-equipment buys, or classified differently in issuing bodies' systems. Business development professionals should treat this code as a lower-priority category for current state and local activity.
