UNSPSC 10161506: Orange trees

UNSPSC 10161506 Orange trees (Commodity) covers the supply and installation of live trees, including citrus species and ornamental varieties, for public landscaping projects. State and local governments procure under this code for tree replanting on scenic roadsways, park development, street beautification, and grounds maintenance. The recent opportunities reflect a mix of supply-only and supply-plus-installation work, spanning from small municipal accent plantings to county-scale roadway median replanting programs. Issuing bodies include county commissions, municipal public works departments, and specialized landscape authorities. The work typically requires compliance with industry plant standards (ANSI Z60.1), soil preparation and amendment, mulching, fertilization, and watering schedules, along with survival warranties ranging from one to two years and post-installation maintenance obligations. Contractors must hold relevant landscaping licenses, provide proof of E-Verify registration, maintain general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and often submit performance and material bonds.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia, with scattered solicitations across Texas and Wisconsin. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00257 for tree replanting across eight scenic roadways in April 2026 (bids due May 26, 2026) with an estimated value of $742,380 for one year; the Town of Palm Beach, Florida solicited palm tree supply and installation (ITB No. 2026-036) for Peruvian Avenue in May 2026 (bids due May 29, 2026); the City of Fitchburg, Wisconsin requested bids for the 2026 Fall Tree Planting Project in July 2026 (bids due August 25, 2026) for 66 trees across 17 species with one-year maintenance and two-year guarantee obligations; and Harris County posted ITB 26/0241 for supply of various trees and related items in September 2026 (bids due September 28, 2026). Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Florida, with secondary activity in the Upper Midwest and South.
