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 is a Commodity code encompassing the supply and delivery of broadleaf tree seedlings and saplings to state and local governments for landscaping, streetscape, and environmental restoration projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing seedlings as part of larger landscape installation, tree replacement, and reforestation contracts where seedlings are specified by species, grade, size, and quantity—typically in 3-gallon to 25-gallon containers or ball-and-burlap configurations meeting Florida Department of Agriculture Grade 1 standards or equivalent state specifications. Cities, counties, and special districts are the primary issuing bodies, with municipalities using seedlings for neighborhood tree-planting programs, street right-of-way beautification, and park restoration, while county governments procure them for scenic road median replanting and facility grounds improvement. The City of Jackson, Michigan's ENG 25-04C street tree purchase and planting contract (RFP, bids due July 14, 2026) calls for approximately 200 trees across 37 approved species on a per-unit basis; the City of Charlotte's RFP (due July 23, 2026) encompasses tree and shrub installation for neighborhood rights-of-way, canopy-care programs, and capital improvement projects; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00125 (due February 27, 2026) specifies multiple tree species including Yellow Tabebuia, Sabal Palms, Magnolia virginiana, and Crapemyrtle for scenic road replanting across a $935,275 one-year contract. Collier County's ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026) for Pelican Bay Services requests unit pricing on 78 line items of plant materials including ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and native Florida species.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with the heaviest volume in Florida counties—Collier, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Escambia—where median replanting and right-of-way beautification drive recurring procurement. The Town of Palm Beach's ITB 2026-036 (due May 29, 2026) sought 11 Royal Palms and 5 Green Malayan Coconut Palms for Peruvian Avenue; the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00248 (due April 10, 2026) requested 500 native Florida trees in eight species for the Mayor's Tree Giveaway. Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 (due April 14, 2026) covered landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road with trees and shrubs installed across 15 medians. The Maryland Environmental Service's RFP (due July 16, 2026) seeks procurement and planting of up to 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area under a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant with a 10% MBE participation goal. Prevailing wage requirements and USDA funding apply to some contracts, particularly in Michigan and Oregon, raising labor and material costs. Warranty periods typically span one year post-planting, with contractors responsible for replacement of dead or unhealthy specimens at no cost to the jurisdiction. Most solicitations award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications, with performance and payment bonds, commercial general liability insurance in the $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 range, and E-Verify employment verification required across jurisdictions.
