UNSPSC 27112047: High branch shears

A shear that can cut branches at the height of tall trees whose branches are straight and thick, and grow very high.

UNSPSC 27112047 High branch shears is a Commodity code covering hand-held grounds maintenance equipment that state and local governments procure as part of broader landscaping and facility management operations. The code appears in solicitations for grounds equipment bundles where branch shears and similar hand tools are bundled with larger maintenance equipment, parts, and supplies rather than as standalone procurement items. Community college districts and other education-sector facilities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, purchasing grounds maintenance tools to support campus upkeep across multiple locations.

Collin County Community College District issued an ITB in June 2024 for Grounds Equipment, Parts, and Supplies to establish a three-year contract through August 31, 2027, with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000 and a potential three-year value of approximately $144,000. The procurement sought 41 line items including hand-held maintenance equipment, tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, irrigation equipment, and landscape products across ten campuses serving over 59,000 students; vendors were required to maintain a local physical business presence within a 75-mile radius of the college and provide percentage discounts off manufacturer's list prices. The ITB responses were due by July 10, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. A second Mississippi solicitation posted June 12, 2026, with a pre-bid meeting on May 27, 2026, appears tagged to this code but the procurement document did not render, limiting visibility into scope and issuing-body details. Recent activity under this code centers in Texas, with limited geographic spread evident from available opportunities.
