UNSPSC 27112712: Power trimmers

UNSPSC 27112712 Power trimmers is a Commodity code that covers hand-held trimming and edging equipment for landscape maintenance, grounds keeping, and vegetation management purchased by state and local government agencies. State and local governments buy string trimmers, hedge trimmers, pole saws, stick edgers, and related portable cutting equipment—often as part of broader landscaping equipment packages bundled with mowers, blowers, chainsaws, and other grounds-maintenance tools. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, cities, community colleges, and county facilities departments; the work is sourced both as standalone equipment procurement and as line items within comprehensive grounds-maintenance contracts that encompass labor, materials, and equipment supply across municipal and institutional facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Southwest, with visible procurement across Georgia and Texas. Pinellas County Schools posted a landscape maintenance equipment RFQ (25-AM-017, due November 4, 2025) for 15 line items including string trimmers and hedge trimmers at approximately $45,000 total value, seeking up to two award winners; Collin County Community College District issued an ITB for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies (FY2024ITB037, due July 10, 2024) across ten campuses at an estimated $48,000 annually; and the City of Tucson posted an IFB for outdoor power equipment, parts, and repair services (260207, due June 12, 2026) specifying commercial-grade trimmers, chainsaws, edgers, and related hand-held equipment from manufacturers including Stihl, Echo, and Husqvarna, with multiple vendor awards planned. Monroe County, Florida also solicited monthly groundskeeping services (RFS648, due October 7, 2026) at two Marathon locations that explicitly include trimming hedges and shrubs.
