UNSPSC 25101901: Agricultural tractors

UNSPSC 25101901 Agricultural tractors is a Commodity code encompassing new and leased utility, compact, and specialized tractors purchased by state and local governments for grounds maintenance, habitat management, roadside mowing, and equipment-intensive operations. State and local buyers source tractors across a wide horsepower range—from 40 HP compact units through 140+ HP heavy-duty models—typically with enclosed cabs, four-wheel drive, hydraulic systems, and field-ready attachments such as loaders, buckets, mowers, and grapple equipment. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, state natural resource and wildlife agencies, county road departments, municipalities, and special authorities (airport commissions, correctional facilities, turnpike authorities) all active on this code. The Florida Department of Management Services and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources appear as repeat buyers; Florida's Department of Management Services is establishing a statewide term contract averaging $4.8 million in annual spend across 20 commodity groups including utility tractors, row-crop tractors, and specialty tractors, while Illinois DNR and Illinois DOT together account for multiple district-level procurements. Opportunities mix single-unit acquisitions, small fleet purchases (two to four units), and statewide cooperative agreements, with delivery timeframes ranging from 14 days for in-stock equipment to 180 days for extended-lead items.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with recent opportunities in California, Florida, Georgia (multiple counties), Illinois (statewide), Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas. Representative recent procurements include the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's IFB for one tractor to manage a 6,000-acre wildlife area, due October 23, 2026; the Florida Department of Management Services' ITB 26-25101900-ITB-V2 establishing a statewide contract for agriculture and lawn equipment with responses due October 27, 2026, supporting multiple manufacturers and regions; the State of Minnesota's RFP T-652(5) for municipal tractors and accessories through a cooperative purchasing vehicle with bids due October 2, 2026; and the Illinois Department of Transportation's IFB B52290 for 34 agricultural tractors across eight districts with responses due June 23, 2026. Pricing models range from fixed unit costs and MSRP-based discounts to lease arrangements (typically 9-month or 12-month terms with guaranteed operating hours and overage rates). Evaluation criteria commonly emphasize specification compliance, delivery capability, parts availability and dealer support within the jurisdiction, warranty coverage, and lowest evaluated cost.
