UNSPSC 10161518: Magnolia tree

Type of tree known as magnolia tree

UNSPSC 10161518 Magnolia tree is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement for magnolia trees and related tree planting, removal, and landscape services. Based on recent solicitations, the code spans furnishing and installation of magnolia specimens as part of broader street tree, median replacement, and landscape beautification programs. State and local governments use this code when acquiring individual tree species for rights-of-way improvements, park installations, stormwater landscaping, and facility grounds maintenance. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, city departments (Public Works, Landscape Management, Arborist Groups), independent municipalities, and special-purpose districts such as airport authorities and regional transit systems. Representative solicitations show magnolia trees appearing as line items within larger tree planting contracts rather than as standalone procurements; the recent activity reflects magnolia as one species option among 15 to 37 approved alternatives in competitive bids where contractors furnish unit pricing per tree.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Michigan and Oregon. Hillsborough County, Collier County, and the City of Tampa dominate the recent posting volume, each issuing multiple tree replanting and landscape maintenance ITBs and ITQs over the past six months. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's Tree Replanting of Scenic Roads and Miscellaneous Areas (ITB-26-00257, bids due May 26, 2026, estimated $742,380.00 for one-year term) and ITB-26-00125 (bids due February 27, 2026, estimated $935,275.00), both naming Magnolia virginiana as a required species; the City of Jackson, Michigan's Street Tree Purchase & Planting contract (ENG 25-04C, bids due July 14, 2026) covering approximately 200 trees across 37 species with prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance; and Collier County's Pelican Bay plant materials ITB 26-8667 (bids due July 8, 2026, historical spend approximately $300,000 annually) spanning 78 line items of ornamental plants and trees. Most recent contracts run one to three years with warranty periods of six months to one year, require Florida Grade #1 plant material compliance, include comprehensive insurance and bonding, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Prevailing wage, USDA compliance, DBE participation goals, and local vendor preferences appear in select solicitations but do not uniformly apply across the code.
