UNSPSC 27112015: Lawn scarifiers

UNSPSC 27112015 Lawn scarifiers is a Commodity code that describes powered or manual equipment used to remove thatch and moss from turf surfaces, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent engagement. The single relevant opportunity in the recent record is embedded within a broader grounds maintenance solicitation rather than a standalone lawn scarifier procurement.

Collin County Community College District issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) on June 18, 2024, for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies across its ten campuses, with bid responses due July 10, 2024. The 41-line-item solicitation included hand-held maintenance equipment, tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, irrigation equipment, fertilizers, and landscape products with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000 over a three-year contract term (September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2027). While lawn scarifiers were potentially included as part of the hand-held maintenance equipment category, the ITB did not isolate them as a distinct line item or emphasize them in the procurement description. A second opportunity—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—appeared in the recent-opportunities block but is unrelated to turf maintenance and does not support activity under this code. The lack of dedicated lawn scarifier solicitations at the state and local level suggests limited procurement velocity under this specific commodity code; grounds maintenance budgets typically consolidate equipment purchases across multiple categories rather than procuring scarifiers as a standalone service line.
