UNSPSC 27112010: Garden forks

UNSPSC 27112010 Garden forks, a Commodity code, covers hand tools and grounds maintenance equipment that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for facility maintenance, landscaping, and grounds work. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing garden forks alongside related hand tools—shovels, posthole diggers, pitch forks, rakes, axes, and brooms—typically as part of annual supply contracts or multi-year grounds equipment agreements. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Collin County Community College District both solicited garden forks and similar hand tools as line items within broader hand tools or grounds equipment contracts rather than as standalone purchases, indicating that the code captures commodity-level buying within larger maintenance-supply initiatives. Issuing bodies under this code span city procurement offices, county purchasing departments, and community college district facilities management, with no single repeat buyer pattern evident in recent postings.

Georgia and Texas show the most recent activity, with the City of Augusta's ITB 27-001 Hand Tools closing September 29, 2026 covering 39 line items of hand tools supplied on an as-needed basis with a one-year term and four optional renewals, and Collin County Community College District's ITB FY2024ITB037 for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies (posted July 7, 2026, due July 10, 2024) establishing a three-year contract with an estimated $48,000 annual expenditure across ten campuses. A third opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026)—appears miscoded to this commodity and does not reflect relevant garden fork or hand tools procurement. The City of Augusta opportunity applies a Local Bidders Preference for projects of $100,000 or less and an M/WBE Program ordinance, while Collin County requires vendors to maintain a local physical presence within 75 miles and assign a dedicated account representative. Delivery expectations in the Augusta contract call for fulfillment within 60 days of purchase order receipt, with fixed pricing and supplier-requested escalation adjustments capped at three percent per item.
