UNSPSC 10152002: Conifer tree seeds or cuttings

UNSPSC 10152002 Conifer tree seeds or cuttings, a Commodity code, nominally encompasses the supply of seed stock and propagation material for coniferous species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal concrete demand for seeds or cuttings specifically. Instead, state and local solicitations tagged to this code predominantly procure finished trees—nursery-grade bare-root or balled-and-burlapped stock ready for immediate planting—along with complete installation, site preparation, mulching, fertilization, watering, and multi-year establishment and warranty services. The work spans landscape restoration on public rights-of-way, park and facility grounds, and tree canopy expansion programs funded by climate and environmental grants. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, cities, towns, and specialized agencies such as port administrations and environmental services departments, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. Geographic distribution includes Texas (Harris County, Dallas, Arlington), Wisconsin (Fitchburg), Florida (Hillsborough County, Palm Beach), Maryland (Baltimore metro via the Maryland Environmental Service), and Georgia (DeKalb County), with activity spread across state agencies, mid-size municipalities, and county governments.

Recent representative opportunities span multiple transaction types and delivery models. The City of Fitchburg, Wisconsin issued an ITB for the 2026 Fall Tree Planting Project (due August 25, 2026) requiring procurement, planting, and one-year maintenance of 66 trees across 17 species with ANSI compliance and performance bonding. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for Tree Replanting of Scenic Roads and Miscellaneous Areas (ITB-26-00257, due May 26, 2026) valued at $742,380.00, encompassing tree removal, site preparation, soil amendment, planting, mulching, fertilization, and watering across eight scenic roadways with a six-month establishment period and 12-month warranty. Harris County issued ITB 26/0241 for supply of various trees and related items (due September 28, 2026). The Maryland Environmental Service released an RFP to procure, plant, and maintain up to an estimated 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area with a 10% MBE participation goal, funded by a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant. The Town of Palm Beach, Florida solicited an ITB (No. 2026-036, due May 29, 2026) for furnishing and installing approximately eleven Royal Palm and five Green Malayan Coconut Palm trees with one-year survival warranty. Procurement under the code routinely requires commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 minimum), performance and labor bonds (typically 100% of contract value), and E-Verify compliance; many opportunities include mandatory warranty periods ranging from one to two years and replacement obligations for dead or unhealthy stock during establishment.
