UNSPSC 10161508: Tea shrubs

UNSPSC 10161508 Tea shrubs is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of ornamental plants, landscaping materials, and related installation services rather than tea plant cultivation. Recent solicitations show governments purchasing tree and palm replacement, landscape and irrigation installation, and general plant procurement for roadway medians, parks, and municipal grounds. The work spans full-service landscaping projects—including site preparation, irrigation system design and installation, plant material supply and installation, and warranty periods—as well as standalone plant purchases for municipal facilities. Issuing bodies include county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, DeKalb County) and city procurement offices (City of Dallas), with counties dominating the recent activity through larger infrastructure and roadway beautification projects.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in Florida and Georgia. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued IFB KM-26-047 in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road for $120,000 with response due April 14, 2026; Collier County Road, Bridge & Stormwater Division solicited tree and palm replacement services along Goodlette Frank Road with a maximum bid cap of $250,000 and quotes due December 19, 2025; and DeKalb County in Georgia posted ITB 2026-076-ITB in June 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center including landscaping elements, with bids due July 13, 2026. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plant purchase in January 2026 with response due February 3, 2026, representing the only recent non-landscaping activity. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in the Southeast, with project scopes ranging from specialized tree and palm replacement addressing hurricane and weather damage to comprehensive landscape and irrigation design-build work on public roadways.
