UNSPSC 27112025: Short handled hoe

A hand tool with a short handle usually made of wood and a little flat blade inserted for removing plants considered unattractive, or troublesome from gardens.

UNSPSC 27112025 Short handled hoe is a Commodity code that captures hand tools and equipment used in grounds maintenance and vegetation management, though recent state and local solicitation activity under the code reflects a broader scope of weed control services rather than tool procurement alone. State and local governments use this code to procure weed management work across infrastructure systems—particularly secondary canal and ditch networks serving water management and flood control operations. The issuing bodies are primarily county-level water and drainage authorities managing extensive canal systems and partner municipalities within their service areas.

Respondents must confirm the final version of the Scope of Services document to align with the County's specifications on treatment frequencies, chemical or mechanical methods, equipment requirements, and performance standards. Questions are due June 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET through the OpenGov question-and-answer module. Electronic submission through OpenGov is mandatory; hand-delivery, mail, fax, email, and telephone submissions are rejected.
