UNSPSC 27112046: Turf sweeper

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

UNSPSC 27112046 Turf sweeper is a Commodity code that encompasses handheld and wheeled grounds maintenance equipment used by state and local public bodies for landscape upkeep, turf care, and facility grounds operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily as part of broader grounds equipment and landscape maintenance contracts that bundle multiple equipment types—mowers, blowers, trimmers, edgers, sprayers, and related tools—for parks, schools, colleges, counties, and transit facilities. Recent solicitations show mixed demand: most activity clusters equipment procurement into larger landscape or grounds maintenance bundles rather than turf sweepers as standalone line items. When turf sweepers appear, they are typically listed alongside chainsaws, string trimmers, backpack blowers, leaf blowers, walk-behind and ride-on mowers, and ancillary maintenance supplies as part of catalog discount bids or multi-item equipment awards to school districts, community colleges, and county parks departments.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Donna ISD), community colleges (Collin County Community College District), county parks and recreation departments (Heard County, White County, Pasco County), and transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority). Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South—Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate recent solicitations, with scattered activity in Connecticut, Minnesota, and Wisconsin through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include Collin County Community College District's ITB for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies (posted June 18, 2024, due July 10, 2024) seeking 41 line items including handheld maintenance equipment and turf care products for ten campuses with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000; Pinellas County Schools' RFQ #25-AM-017 for Landscape Maintenance Equipment (posted April 13, 2026, due November 4, 2025) covering 15 line items including blowers, chainsaws, pole saws, mowers, and trimmers from manufacturers such as Stihl and Toro; and Donna ISD's RFP 011326-892 for Lawn Equipment & Supplies (posted March 21, 2026, due April 8, 2026) requesting catalog discount bids on chainsaws, trimmers, mowers, and landscape tools for the 2026–2027 school year.
