UNSPSC 10152006: Pine tree seeds or budwood

Seed of the tree variety of the pinacea family

UNSPSC 10152006 Pine tree seeds or budwood (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of state and local procurement activity; the recent solicitation record shows virtually no direct purchasing of pine seeds or budwood itself. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting tree planting, landscaping, and grounds maintenance services—often using broader UNSPSC codes that capture the installation and maintenance of trees generically rather than procurement of seeds or seedlings by species. The few opportunities tagged to this code involve complete landscape services (site preparation, installation of finished plant material, watering, staking, mulching, fertilization, warranty periods) rather than nursery inputs or propagation materials.

State and local buyers issuing under or near this code span counties, municipalities, and regional authorities across Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, and Texas. Hillsborough County (Florida) and Collier County (Florida) have issued multiple ITBs for tree replanting and landscape services. Recent representative solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00257 for tree replanting of scenic roads (approximately $742,380.00, bids due May 26, 2026), the City of Jackson, Michigan's RFB for furnishing and planting approximately 200 street trees across 15+ species under USDA funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements (bids due July 14, 2026), and Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division with estimated historical annual spend near $300,000 (bids due July 8, 2026). Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road spanning 2.95 miles (contract not to exceed $120,000.00, bids due April 14, 2026). The geographic concentration runs heavily through Florida, with secondary activity in the Southeast and Midwest. The code itself appears underutilized for its nominal purpose; opportunities reflect institutional demand for landscape services and grounds maintenance far more than procurement of seeds or propagation stock.
