UNSPSC 10152001: Fruit tree seeds or cuttings

UNSPSC 10152001 Fruit tree seeds or cuttings is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and installation of tree materials—saplings, seedlings, and specimen trees—for municipal landscaping, park development, and street tree programs. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through county commissions, cities, and towns seeking to establish or replenish tree stock for public grounds, median plantings, scenic corridors, and infrastructure projects. The work solicited ranges from bulk tree supply contracts covering dozens of species to specialized installations of high-value specimen palms and heritage hardwoods, often bundled with site preparation, planting labor, soil amendment, mulching, establishment-period maintenance, and warranty obligations. Issuing bodies include county departments of public works and utilities, municipal parks and recreation departments, and urban forestry divisions, with contracts typically awarded on a competitive sealed bid or ITB basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting species, size, and phytosanitary standards.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin. Hillsborough County, Florida is procuring tree replanting across eight scenic roadways under ITB 26-00257, due May 26, 2026, with an estimated value of $742,380.00 and a one-year establishment and warranty period.

The Town of Palm Beach, Florida is furnishing and installing Royal Palm and Green Malayan Coconut Palm trees on Peruvian Avenue under ITB 2026-036, due May 29, 2026, with one-year survival warranty. Harris County, Texas issued ITB 26/0241 for supply of various trees and related items, due September 28, 2026, though scope details are minimal. Contracts consistently require General Liability insurance of $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence, bid or performance bonds, and compliance with E-Verify and drug-free workplace certifications where state law applies.
