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 (Class) encompasses equipment procurement and services for grounds maintenance, vegetation management, and forestry operations. State and local governments buy riding and walk-behind mowers, all-terrain vehicles, utility vehicles, tractors of multiple types, slope mowers, forestry equipment, and golf course machinery along with parts, accessories, and implements. Recent opportunities show demand for both capital equipment supply contracts spanning multiple commodity groups and specialized vegetation treatment and removal services at defined acreage.

Florida state procurement dominates recent activity. The Florida Department of Management Services is actively seeking statewide term contractors for agriculture and lawn equipment (ITB 26-25101900-ITB-V2, due October 27, 2026, and the prior ITB 26-25101900-ITB, closed September 1, 2026), with current annual spend averaging $4.8 million; the department reserves the right to award to multiple bidders statewide or by region and applies a Florida business preference of up to 5 percent. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission solicited sand pine removal services across approximately 797 acres at Telogia Creek Wildlife Management Area in Liberty County (ITB response due October 16, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid and site visit September 28, 2026). Orange County, Florida issued an RFQ for weed control services on secondary canals and ditches countywide (Y26-158, due June 30, 2026). Beyond Florida, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation issued an RFQ for two remote-controlled slope mowers with trailers (due June 4, 2026) with a mandatory 15 percent MBE/WBE participation requirement; Park City Municipal Corporation in Utah solicited proposals for a Forest Health & Fuels Program on approximately 162 acres (RFP due May 29, 2026); and the Massachusetts Operational Services Division posted a Notice of Intent for a statewide lawns and grounds equipment and services contract (LND001, proposals due October 2, 2026) and an informational RFI on battery-powered landscaping equipment (due July 13, 2026). A small-volume opportunity appeared in the Town of Franklin, Massachusetts municipal surplus auction for a used 2012 Toro Groundsmaster diesel mower (Municibid auction closed May 19, 2026).
