UNSPSC 27112016: Hedge clippers

UNSPSC 27112016 Hedge clippers is a Commodity code representing hand-held cutting equipment that state and local governments procure as part of broader grounds maintenance and landscaping operations. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions buy hedge clippers alongside related 2-cycle and 4-cycle small-engine equipment, parts, and supplies through both direct equipment purchases and preventative-maintenance service contracts. The issuing bodies include community college districts, municipal public works and facilities departments, and county governments, each managing grounds across multiple campuses, municipal sites, or district-wide facilities. Work solicited under the code encompasses procurement of new equipment inventory, replacement parts, blade sharpening and maintenance services, and vendor-provided preventative tune-ups and repairs backed by manufacturer warranties and service-level agreements.

Recent activity spans Arizona and Texas.
