UNSPSC 11111900: Decorative rock

Attractive or ornamental rock

UNSPSC 11111900 Decorative rock is a Class code covering the supply and delivery of ornamental aggregates, stone, and gravel for landscaping, water conservation, and site-beautification projects across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying decorative rock materials for facility grounds maintenance, xeriscape landscaping conversions to reduce water consumption, landscape restoration as part of infrastructure projects, and community right-of-way beautification. Work ranges from small standing orders for landscape materials to large fixed-budget purchases of multi-ton quantities. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Collier County, Hillsborough County), state departments and correctional facilities (Utah Department of Corrections, University of Southern Mississippi), city public works and parks departments (City of Tucson), and municipal government entities (American Fork City). The mix spans routine as-required supply contracts with three-year terms and renewal options, competitive ITBs and IFBs with firm pricing and delivery-date certainty, and specialized solicitations tied to capital projects or conservation initiatives.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Intermountain West. Utah has seen concentrated activity from the Department of Corrections, which posted two separate IFBs in May 2026 (RR2631 and RR2632) for xeriscape gravel supply to correctional facilities in Salt Lake City and Gunnison, each with a $400,000 fixed budget and June 30, 2026 delivery deadline.
