UNSPSC 27112036: Garden shredder

A power tool for reducing garden waste, (clippings, twigs, and small branches) into small pieces which can then be used for mulching or composting.

UNSPSC 27112036 Garden shredder is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitation activity does not align with garden equipment — instead, the code's recent opportunities track waste tire processing, disposal, and shearing services. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Broward County, Pasco County, and DeKalb County have posted tire-focused solicitations over the past five months, ranging from tire disposal transportation (ITB), tire shearing (fixed-price), tire pickup and disposal (IFB), and scrap tire recycling programs (RFP and RFI). The actual work being procured includes per-ton waste tire collection and disposal, specialized tire-shearing operations at landfill sites, and multi-year recycling partnerships. Vendors typically quote on a per-ton basis with all transportation, labor, equipment, and disposition costs included in the per-ton price. Soliciting bodies are county boards of commissioners operating transfer stations, landfills, and collection sites in Florida and Georgia, with no school districts, municipalities, transit authorities, or state departments appearing in recent activity under this code.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County (Florida) issued ITB 2600424 for three-year tire disposal services with a $1.635 million estimated value, due October 23, 2026. Broward County (Florida) issued a fixed-price tire-shearing contract (SWR091720261200) due September 25, 2026, with per-tire bids ranging from $40 to $85 across four respondents. Pasco County (Florida) posted IFB-KM-26-097 for as-needed waste tire management services covering approximately 1,000 tons annually through September 30, 2029, with a local preference provision favoring vendors within Pasco County or neighboring counties (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, or Hernando). DeKalb County, Georgia issued RFP 2026-070-RFP for a public-private partnership scrap tire recycling program (proposals due August 26, 2026) and an earlier RFI (2026-117) in August 2026 seeking market information on scrap tire processing capacity. One unrelated opportunity appears in the dataset — Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment — and does not reflect activity under this code's scope.
