UNSPSC 27112000: Agriculture, forestry and garden handtools

A set of hand devices used to perform or facilitate manual work in agriculture, forestry and gardening activities such as cutting, breaking up, boring, digging, planting, ploughing, mulching, furrowing and removing.

UNSPSC 27112000 Agriculture, forestry and garden handtools is a Class code encompassing small and mid-sized equipment and tools used for grounds maintenance, vegetation management, and landscape work by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations under this code reflect purchases of lawnmowers, remote-controlled slope mowers, battery-powered landscaping equipment, and tools and materials for tree and shrub installation and maintenance. State and local governments buying here include county facilities departments, state operations divisions, municipal parks and public works departments, transit and special-purpose authorities managing grounds, and higher-education institutions. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Orange County, Florida), state operational services divisions (Massachusetts), municipalities (Town of Franklin, Massachusetts; Park City, Utah; West Virginia University), and environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service).

Activity spreads across Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Utah, Maryland, and West Virginia in recent opportunities. The code sees demand across two distinct segments: consumable and small-equipment purchases (lawnmower units, slope mowers, battery-powered equipment), and labor-intensive grounds services (tree and shrub supply, installation, and maintenance contracts). Representative recent opportunities include Orange County, Florida's sealed RFQ for weed control services on secondary canals and ditches countywide (response due June 30, 2026); the Massachusetts Operational Services Division's RFI on battery-powered landscaping equipment under the statewide FAC116 lawns and grounds equipment contract (responses due July 13, 2026); Park City Municipal Corporation's RFP for a forest health and fuels program across 162 acres with fuel reduction and forest health treatments (responses due May 29, 2026); the Rhode Island Department of Transportation's RFQ for two remote-controlled slope mowers with trailers (responses due June 4, 2026); and the Maryland Environmental Service's sealed-bid procurement for three-year tree and shrub supply, installation, and maintenance at Masonville Cove with a 20 percent MBE set-aside (bids due April 30, 2026).
