UNSPSC 27112010: Garden forks

UNSPSC 27112010 Garden forks (Commodity) covers hand tools and implements for grounds maintenance that state and local governments procure as components of larger equipment and supply contracts rather than as standalone items. The code appears most prominently in mixed grounds-maintenance and hand-tools solicitations where garden forks and similar implements are bundled with tractors, mowers, irrigation equipment, and other landscape supplies. Issuing bodies span community college districts, municipal governments, transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The work being solicited reflects routine operational purchasing for maintenance and grounds-keeping across campus and municipal infrastructure.

Recent activity shows garden forks clustered in two distinct procurement streams. Collin County Community College District issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB FY2024ITB037) in June 2024 for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies across ten campuses, establishing a three-year contract with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000; the solicitation specified 41 line items encompassing hand-held maintenance equipment alongside larger assets, requiring vendors to maintain a local physical presence within a 75-mile radius. The City of Philadelphia posted an RFQ (B2626809) in April 2026 for Hand Tools with a response deadline of April 14, 2026 and a contract cap of $43,000. Geographic spread includes Texas (Collin County), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Florida (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell. The code shows steady but modest recent activity tied to municipal operations and educational facility maintenance rather than dedicated specialty-procurement streams.
