UNSPSC 27112046: Turf sweeper

A device that collects and removes the mown grass after cutting.

UNSPSC 27112046 Turf sweeper (Commodity) refers to walk-behind and towed grounds maintenance equipment that state and local governments procure as part of broader landscape maintenance and grounds care programs. Recent solicitations show these devices are commonly bundled with other hand-held and powered equipment—chain saws, pole saws, blowers, trimmers, hedge trimmers, and pressure washers—rather than purchased in isolation, reflecting how schools, counties, and transit systems source seasonal and routine grounds upkeep supplies. The issuing bodies span school districts, county water and transportation departments, community college districts, and municipal authorities; the Pinellas County School District, Collin County Community College District, and Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources appear as active recent buyers. The procurement structure typically involves multi-year supply contracts with price-hold guarantees and optional renewal periods, manufacturer warranty and parts availability requirements, and acceptance of purchasing cards and E-Verify compliance as standard compliance gates.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The Pinellas County School District issued RFQ #25-AM-017 on September 28, 2026, for landscape maintenance equipment including turf sweeping and blowing units, with bids due November 4, 2025 and a contract value of approximately $45,000; the district intends to award to up to two responsive and responsible bidders. Collin County Community College District issued ITB FY2024ITB037 for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000. The Florida Sheriffs Association issued ITB FSA26-EQU24.0 to establish a 24-month equipment contract beginning October 1, 2026, seeking manufacturers and authorized representatives for grounds care and construction equipment. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources solicited bids on IFB BL086-26 for multi-year landscape and concrete restoration with a pre-bid conference on June 9, 2026, and sealed bids due June 24, 2026. Outside these core states, activity includes scattered municipal and county-level procurement, though the recent-opportunities block shows no turf-sweeper-specific opportunities and the code appears tagged to broader grounds-equipment solicitations where sweeping represents one line item among dozens.
