UNSPSC 10152050: Bolaina blanca tree seed or cutting

Tree seed of the sterculiaceae family

UNSPSC 10152050 Bolaina blanca tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that encompasses the sourcing and supply of plant material for landscaping and tree-planting projects, though recent state and local procurements under this code show minimal alignment with the specific botanical designation and instead reflect broad demand for tree species, seeds, and nursery stock across multiple procurement types. Issuing bodies include counties, cities, and special-purpose districts, with Hillsborough County, Collier County, and the City of Jackson appearing multiple times in recent solicitations. Work being solicited ranges from street-tree planting and median reforestation to comprehensive landscape installation and maintenance, with contractors supplying bare-stock, containerized, and ball-and-burlap material in sizes from 3-gallon pots to 25-gallon containers. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' tree replanting of scenic roads (ITB-26-00257, due May 26, 2026, estimated $742,380.00 for one year); the City of Jackson, Michigan's furnishing, delivery, and planting of approximately 200 street trees across a minimum of 15 species (RFP ENG 25-04C, due July 14, 2026, USDA-funded and Davis-Bacon-compliant); the City of Charlotte's landscaping and tree planting services including neighborhood tree planting in rights-of-way and capital improvement installations (RFP 2692026243, due July 23, 2026); and Collier County's tree and palm replacement along Goodlette Frank Road in two phases (ITQ QQ2026084, due December 19, 2025, $250,000 informal-competition cap). All plant material is required to meet state-grade standards (typically Florida Grade #1 or equivalent), with contractors bearing responsibility for site preparation, soil amendment, mulching, watering during establishment periods of four to six months, and warranty coverage ranging from one to two years. Insurance requirements and bonding obligations are substantial—general liability policies typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000, with performance and payment bonds required on larger awards.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Hillsborough, Collier, Escambia counties and the cities of Tampa and Palm Beach), with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County), Michigan (City of Jackson), North Carolina (City of Charlotte), Oregon (City of Salem), Maryland (Maryland Environmental Service), and Texas (Williamson County and State of Texas). Procurement types are mixed—ITB, RFP, and RFQ notices dominate—with response deadlines clustered between late March and late July 2026. Funding sources include USDA and Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, with set-asides appearing in select procurements (Maryland Environmental Service's urban tree planting carries a 10% MBE goal; Texas's Jester Annex Driveway Expansion includes ESBD preference). Plant material specifications emphasize native and drought-tolerant Florida species, as well as ornamental and street-tree varieties, with contractors required to hold appropriate state licenses (landscape, irrigation sprinkler, or construction board registration) and E-Verify enrollment. The code shows substantial procurement volume and competition, though it does not consistently map to the bolaina blanca botanical designation; activity instead reflects generalist tree and ornamental plant supply across broad landscaping and infrastructure improvement contexts.
