UNSPSC 21101600: Agricultural machinery for planting and seeding

UNSPSC 21101600 Agricultural machinery for planting and seeding is a Class code covering equipment and services for establishing plants and trees across state and local land management, environmental restoration, and municipal beautification programs. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying containerized tree and plant stock, specialized planting equipment and labor, native plant nursery services, and integrated drone-based application systems. The Orange County (California) Public Works procurement of a DJI Agras T100 spray drone system with integrated software and training exemplifies the capital-equipment end of the code; by contrast, the Suwannee River Water Management District's V-blade tree planting services procurement in North-Central Florida and the Maryland Environmental Service's urban tree planting initiative reflect labor-intensive field operations under the same code. Issuing bodies span water management districts, county public works and community resources departments, and state environmental agencies; there is no single dominant repeat buyer in the recent activity block.

Recent opportunities originate in California, Florida, Maryland, and other states where agencies are executing reforestation, habitat restoration, and urban canopy programs. The County of Orange has posted at least two distinct procurements under or near this code (the spray drone IFB valued at $55,679.26 due April 21, 2026, and the California native plant supply and services RFP with proposals due January 20, 2026). The Suwannee River Water Management District issued an ITB for V-blade longleaf and slash pine planting on approximately 366 acres, with bids due June 10, 2026 and work scheduled December 2026 through February 2027. The Maryland Environmental Service solicited proposals for procurement, planting, and maintenance of approximately 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area with an MBE participation goal of 10%, with proposals due July 16, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and California, with supporting activity elsewhere; however, the block does not support a characterization of concentration across additional regions.
