UNSPSC 27112035: Hedge trimmer

A gardening and landscaping power tool powered by either electric or gasoline motors.

UNSPSC 27112035 Hedge trimmer, a Commodity code, covers handheld landscaping power tools that state and local governments buy individually or as part of bundled grounds-maintenance equipment packages. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions source hedge trimmers alongside complementary small-engine equipment—chainsaws, pole saws, string trimmers, blowers, and mowers—often from manufacturers including Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Briggs & Stratton, and Honda. Issuing bodies span school districts, county facilities departments, city parks and operations divisions, and community college districts. The scope includes not only equipment purchase but frequently ancillary services: repair and maintenance contracts, parts availability, warranty fulfillment, and vendor-provided service facilities with trained technicians. Some solicitations bundle equipment procurement with ongoing grounds maintenance labor, while others treat equipment supply and repair as standalone services tied to small-engine fleets serving multiple municipal departments.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas. Pinellas County Schools (Florida) issued an RFQ for landscape maintenance equipment including hedge trimmers with a November 4, 2025 response date and estimated contract value of $45,000, intending to award to up to two vendors. The City of Scottsdale issued an Invitation for Bid (26IFB074) due June 9, 2026 for small-engine maintenance and supplies covering approximately 150 units including hedge trimmers. Monroe County, Florida solicited grounds maintenance services (including hedge and shrub trimming) for two Marathon facilities with responses due October 7, 2026. The City of Tucson issued an IFB (260207) for outdoor power equipment and repair services covering hedge trimmers and related hand-held tools with a June 12, 2026 deadline. Collin County Community College District (Texas) issued an ITB for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses with an estimated $48,000 annual expenditure. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods, and vendors face requirements for local service capacity, parts inventory, insurance, and manufacturer-warranty pass-through or extended maintenance agreements.
