UNSPSC 27112027: Garden broom

A tool composed of a group of wood filaments or metallic/plastic rods at the end of a handle in the form of a straight stick that can be of several sizes or materials. The tool is used to remove leaves, branches or other kind of litter.

UNSPSC 27112027 Garden broom is a Commodity code covering hand-held grounds maintenance tools and supplies that state and local governments procure for facilities upkeep, landscaping, and custodial operations. The recent solicitations under this code show purchasing activity from community colleges, cities, and transit authorities seeking garden brooms and related hand tools as part of broader grounds maintenance and equipment packages. The Collin County Community College District issued an ITB in June 2024 for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses, bundling hand-held maintenance equipment alongside larger machinery and landscape products with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000. The City of Philadelphia solicited hand tools through its PHLContracts eProcurement platform in April 2026 with a micro purchase cap of $43,000, requiring vendors to quote all line items to be eligible for award. These procurements reflect state and local demand for garden brooms as components of broader custodial and grounds maintenance spend rather than as standalone line items.

Recent activity spans Texas, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing arrangements. The Collin County Community College District procurement required vendors to maintain a local physical business presence within a 75-mile radius and assign a dedicated account representative, with bids due July 10, 2024. The City of Philadelphia's hand tools RFQ (B2626809) closed April 14, 2026, with award capped at $43,000 and requiring Workers' Compensation and General Liability insurance; neither solicitation included set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline appears misaligned with the garden broom code and does not represent typical buying activity under UNSPSC 27112027. The code shows limited recent standalone solicitation volume; garden brooms appear primarily as line items within larger grounds maintenance and facilities supply contracts rather than as targeted procurements.
