UNSPSC 10152059 Escalonia seed and cutting is a Commodity code covering the procurement and delivery of plant propagation materials — seeds and cuttings — for nursery stock production and landscape installation. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily city and county procurement offices ordering trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species for right-of-way beautification, park enhancement, streetscape improvements, and site remediation following weather events or accidents. The issuing bodies span municipalities (cities of Charlotte, Salem, Tampa, Palm Beach, Jackson, Santa Fe), county commissioners (Hillsborough, Pasco, Collier, Williamson, DeKalb, Escambia), and specialized agencies such as the Maryland Environmental Service. A small number of issuing bodies appear across multiple recent solicitations: Hillsborough County has posted at least two tree replanting and landscape maintenance ITBs within the review period, and Collier County has issued multiple tree and palm replacement RFQs and ITBs addressing hurricane damage and roadway modifications.

The code sees active procurement across Florida (Hillsborough, Pasco, Collier, Escambia counties and multiple municipalities), the Southeast (Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00125 for tree replanting on scenic roads with a project estimate of $935,275.00, due February 27, 2026; the City of Jackson, Michigan's contract ENG 25-04C for furnishing, delivering, and planting approximately 200 street trees across 15 species for Fall 2026, due July 14, 2026, with prevailing wage and DBE compliance required and liquidated damages of $800 per day for delays; and Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division with historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000, due July 8, 2026. Work is predominantly sourced from Florida-licensed nurseries or state-compliant suppliers and typically requires Florida Grade #1 or equivalent certification, ANSI standards compliance, and warranties ranging from one to two years post-installation with contractor-funded replacement of dead or unhealthy stock.
