UNSPSC 27112712: Power trimmers

UNSPSC 27112712 Power trimmers, a Commodity code, covers hand-held landscaping and grounds-maintenance equipment that state and local governments procure for departmental fleet use, including string trimmers, weed whips, edgers, and related power tools deployed across parks, schools, transit facilities, and municipal grounds. Recent solicitations show city and county purchasing offices acquiring trimmers as part of broader landscape maintenance equipment buys, grounds-service vendor qualifications, and outdoor equipment supply agreements, often bundled with complementary tools such as chainsaws, pole saws, blowers, and mowers rather than as standalone items.

Activity spans multiple issuing-body types including city procurement departments (City of Tucson, City of Sandy Springs, Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County, Harris County Flood Control District, Orange County, Florida), school districts (Pinellas County School District, Laurel School District, Mississippi), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). The City of Tucson issued IFB 260207 for Outdoor Power Equipment, Parts and Repair Services due June 12, 2026, requesting bids on commercial-grade hand-held trimmers and related equipment from manufacturers including Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, and Dewalt, with multiple vendors to be awarded. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00223 on April 10, 2026, for Stihl brand equipment and accessories ($375,000 estimated value, three-year term, due May 4, 2026). Pinellas County School District solicited landscape maintenance equipment including string trimmers via RFQ 25-AM-017 (approximately $45,000 estimated value, due November 4, 2025). The City of Sandy Springs, Georgia issued a two-phase RFQC for city-wide landscaping services (26-056, Phase I qualifications due July 27, 2026) that presumes vendor-provided trimmer and related equipment as part of comprehensive grounds work. Geographic activity centers on Texas (Harris County Flood Control District, City of Tucson), Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County Schools, Orange County, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and Georgia (City of Sandy Springs), with additional multi-state cooperative procurement through Sourcewell.
