UNSPSC 27112009: Scrapers

UNSPSC 27112009 Scrapers (Commodity) covers hand tools and grounds maintenance equipment that state and local governments procure as consumables and capital stock for facility operations, grounds keeping, and general maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code broadly — encompassing scrapers proper but also rakes, shovels, posthole diggers, axes, hammers, brooms, and related implements when bundled in annual supply contracts, alongside saws, nails, tarps, trimmer line, and allied consumables. Issuing bodies range across municipal procurement offices (City of Augusta, Georgia), community college districts (Collin County Community College District), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating jurisdictions). The work involves establishing blanket supply agreements or annual call-off contracts where vendors maintain inventory or fulfill orders on demand, often with fixed pricing for a contract year and optional renewal periods.

City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-001 Hand Tools — Annual Bid in September 2026, with sealed bids due September 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., seeking 39 line items of hand tools for as-needed supply with no minimum order requirements and 60-day delivery windows; the contract runs one year with four optional renewals, includes a local bidders preference for projects of $100,000 or less, and applies M/WBE compliance. Collin County Community College District in Texas issued ITB FY2024ITB037 for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies across its ten campuses, with bids due July 10, 2024, and an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000 over a three-year period; the solicitation required vendors to maintain local presence within a 75-mile radius. Sourcewell, on behalf of Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, issued RFP 061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities (due June 16, 2026), establishing a cooperative contracting solution available statewide. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia), Southwest (Washington), and South-Central (Texas) regions.
