UNSPSC 27112045: Sod cutter

A machine used to cut grass turf in order to transfer the turf.

UNSPSC 27112045 Sod cutter, a Commodity code, encompasses grounds equipment and landscape installation services that state and local governments procure for campus maintenance, municipal grounds operations, and transportation facility upkeep. Recent solicitations show demand for sod installation and landscape management across multi-campus college districts, municipal parks and public spaces, and transit authority maintenance facilities. The issuing bodies include community college districts, city municipalities, county transportation authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Work spans equipment supply (mowers, tractors, irrigation systems, fertilizers) alongside materials and installation labor for landscape projects such as sod furnishment and installation at distributed municipal and institutional sites.

Activity under this code appears across Texas, Florida, Minnesota's cooperative purchasing network, and other states. The City of Dallas issued an RFQ for sod furnishment and installation (due March 31, 2026), Collin County Community College District posted an ITB for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000 (due July 10, 2024), and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority solicited bus wash blower equipment and installation under ITB No. 24-011 (due September 27, 2024). Sourcewell, Minnesota's service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on behalf of multiple Washington and other state jurisdictions for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026), though this opportunity appears tangential to the sod cutter code's core landscape scope. Recent opportunities emphasize professional installation qualifications, equipment reliability, local vendor presence within service radius, and compliance with sustainability standards where applicable.
