UNSPSC 22101722: Bucket tooth

Component that increases the ability of the bucket to excavate by being attached to the frontal end section of device such as bucket, etc.

UNSPSC 22101722 Bucket tooth is a Commodity code that represents individual replacement teeth or cutting edges for excavation and earthmoving equipment buckets. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of bucket teeth or related wear parts; instead, the opportunities span heavy construction, pavement rehabilitation, guardrail replacement, bridge construction, lagoon dredging, and roadway resurfacing projects. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that this code sees little relevant recent activity for its intended product category at the state and local level. Buyers posting these opportunities appear to have tagged broader construction projects with a code that does not match their primary procurement need, or the code may be used inconsistently across jurisdictions for construction-related supplies and equipment.

The recent opportunities originate from multiple Georgia municipalities and counties (City of Marietta, City of Thomasville, Barrow County, City of Tybee Island) and California counties (Santa Clara County), as well as cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell on behalf of Washington state counties and other jurisdictions. The posted solicitations—including IFBs and ITBs for roadway and bridge work with response dates ranging from February through June 2026—confirm geographic activity in the Southeast and West, but none directly address bucket tooth procurement. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the specific commodity classification with issuing jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities, as the current posting pattern suggests either miscoded work or limited procurement of the actual product this code describes.
