UNSPSC 27112034: Root cutter

A tool used in gardening to cut or extract the roots of plants minimizing the damage.

UNSPSC 27112034 Root cutter, a Commodity code, defines equipment and tools used for vegetation cutting and removal in state and local grounds maintenance, parks, right-of-way management, and landscape operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing root cutters as part of broader hazardous tree removal, invasive vegetation clearing, and grounds equipment procurement activities. The code captures both standalone cutting equipment and the associated labor and equipment services for tree and brush removal across public properties.

Escambia County, Florida's Community Redevelopment Agency dominates recent activity under this code, posting nine hazardous tree removal RFQs between May and July 2026 at residential and public sites in Pensacola, each soliciting large limb and trunk removal and hauling on a lump-sum basis with mandatory pre-solicitation meetings and responses through the OpenGov Procurement portal. Beyond Escambia's cluster, the code captures equipment and service procurements from county utilities (Glades Electric Cooperative, Florida), regional transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County, Florida; Clackamas County, Oregon), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Florida; Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida; Harlingen Consolidated ISD, Texas), municipalities (City of Tucson, Arizona; City of Milton, Florida; City of Brownsville, Texas), state departments (State of Florida), and cooperative purchasing groups (Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program, Massachusetts). Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Arizona, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Escambia County CRA Hazardous Tree Removal at 10 Commander Drive (RFQ, July 17, 2026 response due), City of Tucson Outdoor Power Equipment, Parts and Repair Services (IFB 260207, June 12, 2026 response due), Collier County Furnish Install Trees Palms and Additional Services (ITB 25-8517, June 26, 2026 response due with local-vendor preference), and Hillsborough County Public Schools Tree Trimming and Removal Services (RFP 26040-RFP-MST, March 2, 2026 response due, estimated contract value not to exceed $1,750,000 with small business encouragement program scoring). Activity reflects ongoing demand for cutting, trimming, and removal services in urban and suburban property maintenance, with most jurisdictions requiring licenses, insurance, safety certifications, and local reference documentation.
