UNSPSC 27112031: Garden sieve

An device consisting of a perforated sheet or fabric contained in a circular form (usually of wood) employed to separate seeds of several sizes. Also used in fertilizer works.

UNSPSC 27112031 Garden sieve is a Commodity code that encompasses hand-held grounds maintenance tools and equipment used by state and local governments to support landscape and turf management across parks, facilities, and municipal grounds. The recent solicitation activity under this code, however, shows limited direct alignment with the garden sieve product category; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broader grounds equipment packages that include tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, fertilizers, and chemical products alongside hand-held tools. The Collin County Community College District's three-year grounds equipment contract (ITB FY2024ITB037, bid due July 10, 2024, estimated annual spend $48,000) and the City of Peoria's fertilizer and vegetation management products RFQ (solicitation P260071, due July 3, 2026) represent the kinds of higher-volume, multi-category grounds maintenance buys that bundle sieves and hand tools with powered equipment and supplies. School districts and municipal parks departments emerge as the primary issuing bodies pursuing grounds equipment under this code, though the volume of activity remains modest.

The code shows recent procurement activity concentrated in the Southwest and South, with representations in Arizona (City of Peoria), Florida (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and Texas (Collin County Community College District), alongside scattered activity in other regions captured through cooperative vehicles such as Sourcewell. The Collin County Community College District solicitation illustrates the district's emphasis on local vendor presence within a 75-mile radius and dedicated account support, suggesting that grounds equipment procurement in this tier prioritizes accessibility and service responsiveness over low-cost commodity sourcing. Recent opportunities under this code tend to bundle hand tools, sieves, and equipment supplies into larger facilities maintenance contracts rather than standalone tool procurements, and response rates and award values remain modest relative to higher-volume state and local categories, indicating selective rather than sustained demand.
