UNSPSC 91111602: Yard or pool care services

UNSPSC 91111602 Yard or pool care services, Commodity code, represents routine grounds maintenance work that state and local governments procure across parks, facilities, cemeteries, municipal right-of-way corridors, and specialized properties—mowing, edging, debris removal, and landscape bed upkeep performed on fixed cycles throughout the growing season. The code encompasses both routine turf maintenance at recurring intervals and supplemental services such as tree trimming, weed control, and irrigation system inspection and repair.

The issuing-body mix spans city parks and recreation departments, county facilities and transportation offices, independent school districts, transit and water authorities, and specialized districts. Recent solicitations show concentrated repeat activity from the City of Waco (five separate RFBs for distinct properties or corridors posted in July 2026), as well as single-opportunity activity from county facilities management, municipal cemetery operations, airport authorities, and state departments of transportation. Geographic spread is national, with recent competitive activity in Texas (Waco, Amarillo, Uvalde, Denison, Kyle, Austin area), Florida (Orlando, Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Medford, St. Cloud), Georgia (Sandy Springs, Milton, Albany, Stockbridge, Springfield, Gordon), Wisconsin (Fitchburg), Illinois (Chicago area, Urbana), California (Santa Cruz), Connecticut (Norwalk), and Colorado (Graceville/Alachua County). Two representative opportunities illustrate the range of scope and structure: the City of Waco's RFB2026029 for FM 1637 right-of-way mowing (mowing, edging, shredding, weed eating, and grass trimming on a one-year initial term with three optional renewals, bids due August 7, 2026) and the City of Milton, Georgia's RFP 26-PR03 for comprehensive parks maintenance across eighteen municipal parks over 500 acres (one-year initial term with four automatic renewals, proposals due July 30, 2026). Set-asides and local preferences appear inconsistently: the City of Amarillo applies a 5 percent local-vendor price preference; the City of Sandy Springs requires minimum qualifications including Georgia licensing and ISA-certified arborist staff; the City of Tampa's procurement restricts this code to certified small local business enterprises. Prevailing wage requirements apply in public-works contexts (Waco, Amarillo, Santa Cruz) but not uniformly across all jurisdictions. Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewals; pricing is commonly structured as fixed unit costs per mowing cycle or per location, with supplemental rates for add-on services such as mulch, tree removal, or emergency response. Insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million general liability are standard.
