UNSPSC 10160000: Floriculture and silviculture products

UNSPSC 10160000 Floriculture and silviculture products is a Family code encompassing plant materials, seeds, trees, shrubs, and related supplies that state and local governments purchase for landscape maintenance, beautification, and habitat restoration. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring ornamental flowering plants (poinsettias, Easter lilies, hardy mums, azaleas), bare-root seedlings for large-scale reforestation, containerized shrubs and trees in multiple sizes, sod, soil amendments (compressed soil bales), and all associated installation labor and materials. Issuing bodies span state natural-resource and transportation departments, county parks and stormwater divisions, and public facilities offices. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Collier County Board of Commissioners (appearing twice in recent activity), and Delaware Department of Agriculture Forest Service represent the current buyer mix—a combination of state environmental stewardship and county infrastructure-and-beautification programs.

Recent activity clusters in Michigan, Florida (Collier County specifically), and Delaware, with one unrelated opportunity appearing in Georgia (DeKalb County's IT infrastructure project, which does not align with this code's scope). The Michigan DNR issued RFP7512600000022311 on July 11, 2026, for Belle Isle State Park horticultural supplies including soil bales, flowering plants, and delivery, with proposals due August 6, 2026 under a three-year contract with renewal options. Collier County issued ITB 268667 on June 18, 2026, for 78 line items of plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services with an approximate historical annual spend of $300,000, due July 8, 2026, on a three-year initial term with two one-year renewal options. Collier County also posted an informal tree-and-palm replacement solicitation (QQ2026084) in February 2026 with a $250,000 bid cap for roadway median and right-of-way work. The Delaware Department of Agriculture Forest Service issued RFP AGR05STEW on February 6, 2026, for bare-root seedling planting across 130 acres statewide, with proposals due February 20, 2026, and completion by May 15, 2026, under a two-year contract with optional renewals.
