UNSPSC 70141503: Grass or fodder production

UNSPSC 70141503 Grass or fodder production (Commodity) encompasses vegetation management services and turf supply contracting for municipal facilities and utility rights-of-way. State and local governments procure under this code a mix of consumable turf materials — fertilizers, sand mixes, compost, drainage stone, and sod — alongside vegetation management software and field services for trimming operations on electric systems and managed grounds. Issuing bodies include city utilities, county governments, and township recreation departments. Recent solicitations show municipalities purchasing both products on standing contracts and services through on-call arrangements with primary and secondary contractor structures to ensure operational continuity.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with posted opportunities from Leon County, Florida; Columbus, Georgia; and Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. Pennsauken Township issued IFB 2026BID12 for turf supplies (posted August 13, 2026, due August 27, 2026) specifying fertilizers, sand mixes, compost, drainage stone, and sod for the Pennsauken Country Club under a two-year contract with extension options, with pricing including delivery and no separate fuel or surcharges permitted. Columbus Consolidated Government released RFP 27-0010 (posted August 11, 2026, due September 30, 2026) for on-call irrigation installation and maintenance services across municipal facilities under a dual-contractor structure with a two-year term and three one-year renewal options. Leon County posted RFP 10126RR (posted September 9, 2026, due October 13, 2026) for vegetation management software as a service to predict vegetation growth on the electric system and support contractor dispatch to trim locations.
