NIGP 23202: Artificial Plants, Shrubs, and Trees

NIGP 23202 Artificial Plants, Shrubs, and Trees, an Item code, covers the supply, installation, and maintenance of live plants and trees in public facilities and rights-of-way. State and local governments procure under this code for landscape renovation in parks and municipal grounds, interior plant maintenance in civic buildings, and blanket supply arrangements for ongoing plant and landscaping material needs. Issuing bodies range from county governments and cities to special-purpose districts managing multiple municipal facilities, with activity spanning small-scale RFQs for single-site maintenance contracts to multi-year blanket purchase orders covering diverse plant supply categories alongside related landscaping materials and equipment.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida and California. Collier County posted a Quick Quote (QQ2026148) in September 2026 for furnishing and installing forty-three trees and palms—including Black Olive, Buttonwood, Live Oak, Magnolia, Foxtail Palm, and Pygmy Date Palm varieties—in Pelican Bay rights-of-way, with responses due September 28, 2026 and unit-price compensation covering labor, materials, temporary traffic control, and a 90-day warranty on plant material. The City of Orlando solicited an RFQ (24-0312) for interior plant maintenance services across approximately 80 live plants at City Hall and Amway Center, requiring monthly maintenance with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals, with a response deadline of April 29, 2024. The City of Milpitas issued an IFB (26-229) for five-year blanket purchase orders across five MRO categories, including plants and landscaping supplies as one of five supply lines, with bids due August 4, 2026 and local purchasing preference for eligible vendors within ten percent of the lowest responsible bidder.
