UNSPSC 27112022: Border shear

A pair of large clippers with long handles having its head arranged either in straight form or turned 90 degrees to the left used to cut weeds or stems which are close to walls or places difficult to be accessed.

UNSPSC 27112022 Border shear is a Commodity code covering cutting and trimming tools used in grounds maintenance and landscaping operations. State and local governments procure border shears as part of broader grounds equipment and supplies contracts, typically bundled with other hand-held maintenance equipment, tractors, mowers, and landscape products. The code appears in solicitations from community college districts and other public entities seeking to stock and maintain grounds-care inventories across multiple campuses or facilities. Issuers range from educational institutions to county agencies, though the recent-opportunities block reflects limited activity under this specific code.

Collin County Community College District issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB FY2024ITB037) in June 2024 for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies to support ten campuses serving over 59,000 students, with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000 over a three-year contract term (September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027). The procurement called for percentage discounts off manufacturer's list prices across 41 line items and required vendors to maintain a local physical presence within 75 miles of the district. A Mississippi solicitation (69-20260514163400 ASU) posted in June 2026 included a pre-bid meeting but the procurement scope is not accessible. Activity under the border shear code appears concentrated in Texas community college procurement, though the recent-opportunities dataset shows limited geographic diversity and sparse volume overall for this particular commodity.
