UNSPSC 10152005: Conifer tree seedling

A young tree that is grown in a nursery for cultivation of acicular trees, eg trees with the shape of leaves looking like needles.

UNSPSC 10152005 Conifer tree seedling is a Commodity code that covers the procurement, delivery, and in many cases installation and establishment of tree seedlings and saplings for landscape restoration, urban forestry, and public beautification projects. State and local governments solicit under this code when they need trees for rights-of-way planting, park and facility landscaping, hazard mitigation, hurricane recovery, streetscape reconstruction, and municipal tree-canopy expansion initiatives. The work spans single-species tree purchases for giveaway programs through multi-species landscape installation with site preparation, soil amendment, irrigation, mulching, fertilization, and multi-year establishment and warranty periods. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement offices, regional environmental service agencies, and municipal arborist and landscape operations divisions; repeat buyers appear in Hillsborough County, Collier County, and the City of Charlotte, among others.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with significant recent solicitation volume from Hillsborough County, Collier County, and municipal procurement offices in Tampa, Palm Beach, Naples, and Escambia County. Pasco County, Jackson (Michigan), Charlotte (North Carolina), Salem (Oregon), Baltimore, and Santa Fe (New Mexico) also posted solicitations in the recent window. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's tree replanting of scenic roads (ITB-26-00257, estimated $742,380, due May 26, 2026), the City of Jackson's street tree purchase and planting rebid (ENG 25-04C, 200 trees, USDA-funded, due July 14, 2026), and the City of Charlotte's landscape and tree planting RFP (2692026243, due July 23, 2026) spanning neighborhood tree planting, canopy care on private property, stump grinding, and capital improvement landscape installations. Collier County's Pelican Bay Services ITB (26-8667, due July 8, 2026) sought unit pricing for 78 line items of plants and trees with three-year contract terms and historical annual spend near $300,000. Prevailing-wage Davis-Bacon requirements appear in some municipal solicitations; local-vendor preferences and MBE participation goals are common. One-year warranties on planted materials and multi-year establishment periods (six to twelve months post-planting) are standard contract provisions.
