UNSPSC 10152001: Fruit tree seeds or cuttings

UNSPSC 10152001 Fruit tree seeds or cuttings is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under it do not reflect purchases of seeds or propagation material. Instead, the opportunities show governments buying mature landscape trees for installation, tree removal and replacement services, and general tree replanting work across multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work actually being solicited includes site preparation, planting of containerized or balled-and-burlap trees meeting Florida Grade 1 or equivalent quality standards, mulching, soil amendment, watering, fertilization, stump grinding, debris disposal, and one-year to multi-year plant establishment and warranty periods. Issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, Dallas County, DeKalb County), municipalities (City of Tampa, Town of Palm Beach), state transportation departments (Oregon Department of Transportation), and state resource agencies (Nevada Department of Wildlife). The mix spans landscape maintenance contracts, public infrastructure rehabilitation projects, and tree-replacement initiatives tied to roadway and park improvements.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Hillsborough County ITB for scenic-road replanting at $742,380 estimated value with bids due May 26, 2026; Town of Palm Beach ITB for palm installation on Peruvian Avenue due May 29, 2026; City of Tampa RFQ for 500 native trees for the Mayor's Tree Giveaway due April 10, 2026), Texas (Dallas County Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals for 5,150 linear feet of wastewater-pipe rehabilitation paired with landscape work due June 5, 2026), Georgia (DeKalb County ITB for tennis-center reconstruction with IT and low-voltage infrastructure, due July 13, 2026), Oregon (ODOT tree-removal and replanting project on US20 near Juntura with quotes due April 29, 2026), and Nevada (Department of Wildlife seedlings procurement due April 29, 2026). The code shows inconsistent tagging—several opportunities (tennis-center and wastewater-rehabilitation solicitations) are unrelated to tree seeds or plant material and appear mislabeled at the commodity level. The tree-related opportunities (Hillsborough County, Town of Palm Beach, City of Tampa, Oregon) align more closely with landscape installation and maintenance services than with seeds or cuttings procurement.
