UNSPSC 10152004: Latifoliate tree seedling

A young tree that is grown in a nursery for cultivation of broad leaved trees.

UNSPSC 10152004 Latifoliate tree seedling (Commodity) encompasses the procurement of deciduous tree seedlings and saplings for public landscaping, reforestation, and streetscape projects. State and local governments buy containerized and bare-root seedlings of species including oaks, maples, birches, dogwoods, and other hardwoods, typically in volumes ranging from dozens of specimens for municipal street planting to tens of thousands for statewide restoration initiatives. The code sees activity from city public works and parks departments, county commissioners and recreation authorities, state natural resources agencies, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations emphasize Davis-Bacon compliance and prevailing wage when federal funding applies, multi-year supply arrangements with renewal options, and performance guarantees extending through establishment or growing seasons. Issuing bodies across this code specify strict compliance with Florida Grades and Standards, ANSI nursery standards, and state forestry protocols for species selection, root health, disease-free certification, and viability thresholds.

Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan (state Department of Natural Resources, City of Jackson), Florida (Collier County, City of DeBary, Hillsborough County), and scattered municipal solicitations in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Maryland. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Jackson, Michigan's street tree purchase and planting (RFB ENG 25-04C Rebid #2, due September 30, 2026) for approximately 200 trees across 37 approved species with spring 2027 planting, USDA funding, prevailing wage requirements, and unit pricing by caliper size; the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' containerized seedlings and services contract (RFP 260000002354, closed August 17, 2026) awarded to PRT USA, Inc. for $6.25 million over five years covering high-volume 1-0 conifer and low-volume hardwood production with delivery to four state field offices beginning spring 2028; and Hillsborough County's tree replanting of scenic roads (ITB 26-00257, closed May 26, 2026) for $742,380 covering landscape installation, soil amendment, and six-month establishment maintenance across eight corridors totaling approximately 34,984 linear feet. The code shows steady quarterly activity with multiple issuing bodies pursuing contracts simultaneously, indicating sustained demand for seedling procurement tied to municipal beautification, state reforestation mandates, and green infrastructure initiatives.
