UNSPSC 27112045: Sod cutter

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

UNSPSC 27112045 Sod cutter, a Commodity code, covers landscape maintenance equipment that state and local governments procure as part of grounds maintenance inventories and repairs. Recent opportunities under this code show colleges and cooperatives buying sod cutters alongside related grounds equipment, parts, and supplies as line items within broader grounds maintenance contracts rather than as standalone equipment procurements.

Community colleges represent the issuing bodies visible in recent activity. Collin County Community College District issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) in July 2024 for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies to establish a three-year contract serving ten campuses; the solicitation included 41 line items encompassing hand-held maintenance equipment, tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, irrigation equipment, and landscape products, with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000. The district required vendors to maintain a local physical business presence within a 75-mile radius and assign a dedicated account representative. Geographic spread is limited in the recent record; the Collin County opportunity represents Texas activity, though a parallel Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment) issued in May 2026 involved participating entities across Washington state and multiple other jurisdictions. The Sourcewell structure indicates that cooperative purchasing vehicles are active in this procurement space, though that particular opportunity does not substantively overlap with sod-cutter scope. Activity under this code appears sparse in the recent record—the Collin County ITB remains the primary concrete signal of state and local procurement for grounds maintenance equipment including sod cutters.
