UNSPSC 10152016: Teca tree seed or cutting

Leafy tree seed of the verbenaceae family that reaches a height of 30 m

UNSPSC 10152016 Teca tree seed or cutting, a Commodity code, describes native tree seedlings, seeds, and containerized plants that state and local governments procure for urban forestry, park restoration, recreation area development, and street tree programs. State and local buyers sourcing under this code include city public works and forestry departments, county parks and natural resources divisions, and state departments of natural resources. Recent activity shows cities furnishing and planting street trees in municipal rights-of-way (Jackson, Michigan; Charlotte, North Carolina; Collier County, Florida); state natural resource agencies acquiring containerized seedlings and native seeds for forest and wetland restoration projects; and specialized procurement by towns and counties for gateway landscapes, median plantings, and park beautification. Issuing bodies span municipal forestry programs, county commissioners' offices, state DNR divisions, and independent school districts managing facility grounds.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Michigan and Florida. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has issued multiple RFPs for containerized conifer and hardwood seedlings and native tree seeds to support restoration at Waterloo and Lake Hudson recreation areas, with proposals due in late summer 2026 and contract terms spanning multiple years with high-volume specifications (1–2 million seedlings annually). The City of Jackson, Michigan posted a rebid for approximately 200 street trees across 15 species for spring 2027 planting (ENG 25-04C, proposals due September 30, 2026, RFP notice type, Davis-Bacon-funded with prevailing wage requirements). Collier County, Florida solicited trees and palms for Pelican Bay rights-of-way (Quick Quote due September 28, 2026) and plant materials for the Pelican Bay Services Division on as-required basis (ITB 26-8667, proposals due July 8, 2026, estimated historical spend $300,000 annually). The City of Charlotte, North Carolina is procuring landscape and tree planting services including neighborhood tree planting and stump grinding across Charlotte and Mecklenburg County (RFP 2692026243, proposals due July 23, 2026). Hillsborough County Schools in Florida is seeking landscape and irrigation contractors under ITB 26246ITBMST (proposals due August 5, 2026). Activity extends to specialized urban tree work — the City of Savannah restricted Victory Drive tree pruning and maintenance and Daffin Park tree preservation to local vendors holding a 12-month Business Tax Certificate (Savannah city set-aside, Event 12366 and 12398, September 2026 deadlines).
