UNSPSC 10152014: Tornillo tree seed or cutting

Tree seed from the fabaceae - mimosoideae family

UNSPSC 10152014 Tornillo tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement and supply of tree materials — seeds, seedlings, and cuttings — for landscape installation, street tree planting programs, and grounds maintenance across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through landscape and grounds maintenance contracts that bundle tree procurement with site preparation, planting labor, and ongoing maintenance; the code captures the material input component of those broader landscaping solicitations rather than standalone seed or cutting purchases.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated among city and county agencies in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Maryland, and North Carolina, with the City of Charlotte, Hillsborough County, Collier County, and the City of Jackson issuing representative procurements. The City of Jackson's street tree purchase and planting contract (ENG 25-04C, RFP due July 14, 2026) calls for furnishing and planting approximately 200 street trees across a minimum of 15 species for Fall 2026, with Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage compliance, DBE requirements, and renewal options through Spring 2028; Collier County's Pelican Bay landscaping procurement (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026) requests 78 line items of plant materials including ornamental plants, shrubs, and sod with historical annual spend near $300,000; and Hillsborough County's tree replanting of scenic roads (ITB 26-00257, due May 26, 2026) budgeted $742,380 for a one-year contract covering 34,984 linear feet of medians across eight roadways. These procurements typically require Florida Grade 1 or equivalent plant standards, compliance with ANSI Z60.1 nursery standards, and one-year establishment or warranty periods with contractor-funded replacement of dead or unhealthy materials. Geographic activity clusters in Florida (multiple Hillsborough, Collier, and Escambia County procurements, plus City of Tampa and Town of Palm Beach) with secondary activity in the Southeast and Midwest; prevailing wage applies when federal or state funding sources (USDA, Climate Pollution Reduction Grants) are present. Set-asides include DBE requirements (City of Jackson), MBE 10% goals (Maryland Environmental Service urban tree planting), and ESBD preferences (State of Texas Jester Annex driveway tree replanting).
