UNSPSC 27112007: Secateurs or pruning shears

UNSPSC 27112007 Secateurs or pruning shears, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently visible under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit broader grounds maintenance, landscaping, and vegetation management services — turf establishment, sod installation, tree trimming and removal, mowing, and bus wash equipment — rather than hand-held pruning implements. The issuing bodies span community college districts, state departments of transportation, municipal transit authorities, counties, and special-purpose flood control districts across multiple states. A Caltrans District 10 procurement restricted to certified small and disabled veteran businesses sought tree trimming and pruning services across eight counties in central California (Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne) with a response deadline of April 13, 2026; however, this was a comprehensive vegetation management RFQ with a $461,000 estimated ceiling, not a procurement for pruning shears themselves.

The Harris County Flood Control District (Texas) issued an ITB on February 6, 2026, for turf establishment, vegetation promotion, and mowing services with a March 2, 2026, response deadline, while the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (Florida) solicited sealed bids for specialized bus wash blower equipment. The Collin County Community College District (Texas) issued ITB FY2024ITB037 in June 2024 for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses, with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000, though pruning shears were not itemized in available documentation. A Mississippi solicitation (69-20260514163400 ASU) posted June 12, 2026, with a June 25, 2026, response deadline remains undocumented in the available source materials. The code shows little relevant recent activity for hand-held pruning equipment as a distinct product category; state and local procurement under this classification currently reflects larger-scope grounds maintenance contracts spanning multiple tool, equipment, and service categories.
