State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing tree inventory and assessment services, tree planting and transplant stock (both native and ornamental species), tree removal and stump grinding, tree trimming and pruning on an as-needed or standing-agreement basis, and complete landscape restoration projects involving tree installation and warranty management.

The City of Pittsburgh appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate solicitations for Arsenal Park tree inventory (RFP 2026RFP074, due July 24, 2026) and a Pre-Qualified Master Agreement for tree planting services (PQMA 2026PQMA329, due March 31, 2030), suggesting ongoing municipal forestry program activity.
