UNSPSC 10161518: Magnolia tree

Type of tree known as magnolia tree

UNSPSC 10161518 Magnolia tree is a Commodity code capturing the supply and installation of magnolia and related tree species in state and local infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring magnolia trees alongside mixed-species street tree programs, median and rights-of-way beautification, park landscaping, and site restoration—often as unit-priced line items within larger landscape installations or as components of multi-species tree-planting contracts funded by grants, capital improvement budgets, or routine operations and maintenance appropriations. The issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, transit and park authorities, and state natural resource departments across diverse jurisdictions; Collier County (Florida), the City of Jackson (Michigan), the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the City of Charlotte (North Carolina) have posted multiple recent opportunities. Work ranges from small discretionary acquisitions (Gwinnett County's single Norway Spruce for the courthouse) to high-volume multi-season programs (Jackson's approximately 200-tree rebid with renewal options through 2028) and large-scale median beautification (Pasco County's nine-mile Little Road irrigation and landscaping Phase II, City of DeBary's Alexander Island Park uplands project with thousands of plants and extensive site preparation).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Maryland, and New Mexico. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Jackson, Michigan's ENG 25-04C Street Tree Purchase & Planting Rebid #2 (IFB, response due September 30, 2026), soliciting approximately 200 trees across 37 specified species with furnishing, delivery, planting, one-year maintenance, and performance bonds under USDA grant funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance; Collier County, Florida's Quick Quote for furnishing and installing trees and palms in the Pelican Bay rights-of-way (response due September 28, 2026, FY 2026-2027) with unit pricing across seven line items including five 45-gallon magnolia trees; and the City of Charlotte's RFP for landscaping and tree planting services (response due July 23, 2026) encompassing neighborhood tree planting, canopy care, stump grinding, and capital improvement landscape installations. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources' RFP for containerized seedlings and services (responses due August 17, 2026) represents high-volume state procurement for forest restoration, with a five-year contract valued at $6.25 million over initial and renewal terms. Evaluation typically weighs price competitively against experience, professional qualifications, timeline feasibility, and corporate accountability; several municipally-funded projects require Davis-Bacon compliance, insurance and bonding, and one-year or longer plant establishment warranties with automatic replacement of dead or unhealthy specimens.
