UNSPSC 10152013: Willow tree seed or cutting

Salicaceae family tree seed

UNSPSC 10152013 Willow tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that captures furnishing and installation of trees and plant materials in state and local grounds maintenance, beautification, and landscape restoration work. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring trees both as discrete supply items and as bundled services including site preparation, planting, mulching, irrigation, maintenance, and warranty — reflecting a market where the tree itself is often a component of a broader landscape contract rather than a standalone purchase. Counties and cities dominate the issuing bodies, with municipalities in Florida particularly active; school districts, state environmental services, and transit authorities also solicit tree work. Representative recent solicitations include Collier County's furnishing and installation of ornamental plants and native species on an as-required basis for Pelican Bay Services (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026), Hillsborough County's year-long tree replanting across scenic roads with site preparation and maintenance through establishment and warranty periods (ITB-26-00125, estimate $935,275, due February 27, 2026), and the City of Jackson, Michigan's furnishing, delivery, planting, maintenance, and guarantee of approximately 200 street trees across 15 species with USDA funding and prevailing wage requirements (ENG 25-04C, due July 14, 2026).

Activity is concentrated in Florida (Collier, Hillsborough, Marion, Escambia, and Pasco counties; Cities of Tampa, Charlotte, Palm Beach, and Jacksonville) and extends to Michigan, Georgia, Oregon, Maryland, and Texas. Tree replanting following hurricane damage and roadway beautification projects dominate the work; tree species include native Florida varieties (Live Oak, Sand Pine, Dahoon Holly, Seagrape), ornamental palms (Royal Palm, Malayan Coconut), and native northern species. Contracts typically mandate Florida Grade #1 or equivalent quality standards, six-month to 12-month establishment and warranty periods with contractor-funded replacement of dead or unhealthy plants, and comprehensive insurance including general liability of $500,000 to $2,000,000. Several solicitations carry prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon Act, or state wage-determination requirements; MBE/DBE participation goals appear in Maryland Environmental Service and City of Jackson procurements. Contract values range from under $250,000 (Collier's informal-competition tree-replacement work) to over $935,000 (Hillsborough County) for one-year terms, with multi-year renewal options common. Pre-bid meetings, site visits, and addenda management are standard.
