UNSPSC 70111713: Parks management or maintenance services

UNSPSC 70111713 Parks management or maintenance services is a Commodity code that captures the routine grounds maintenance and landscape operations state and local governments contract for across municipal parks, recreational facilities, utility easements, cemeteries, and transportation corridors. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring mowing, trimming, edging, debris removal, fertilization, pest control, and irrigation maintenance at dozens to hundreds of individual sites, often with seasonal frequency variations and unit-price compensation structures. The issuing bodies span cities, counties, transit authorities, water agencies, state departments, and special-purpose districts across Florida, California, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Illinois, South Carolina, and Texas, with standout repeat buyers including the City of Ocala (multiple mowing, cemetery, and facility contracts), Orange County Florida (transportation authority landscaping), Sarasota County (right-of-way and preserve mowing), and the City of St. Cloud Florida (park and grounds maintenance). Work being solicited ranges from supplemental mowing at individual parks to comprehensive multi-year contracts covering 30+ acres or hundreds of individual locations; the Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB C260572 (due November 2, 2026, $354,050 estimated value) and the City of Tampa's dual grounds maintenance procurements for North and East Parks (both approximately $475,000) exemplify the scale and geographic spread typical of this code.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Florida and California, with secondary clusters in Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Nevada. Geographic spread includes Santa Rosa County (earthwork and park improvements, ITB 26-023), Sacramento County (water agency landscaping across 28 operational sites, RFP 2026RFP0094), Hillsborough County (lift station landscaping, ITB-27-00005, estimated $503,750 over five years), Orange County Florida (landscape maintenance at multiple Bithlo and Taft area sections, IFBs Y26-1006 and Y26-1007, both due November 5, 2026, both carrying 30% SBE participation goals), Harris County Flood Control District (South Central Region mowing, ITB due November 2, 2026), and statewide Nevada National Guard facilities (RFQ 43ADGS4013, due November 3, 2026). Prevailing wage requirements, DBE and SBE participation goals, local-vendor preferences, and multicontractor awards appear regularly across recent opportunities. The code shows robust, steady state and local procurement activity with multiple active opportunities posted weekly and response dates spanning fall 2026 through early 2027.
