UNSPSC 21101601: Planters

UNSPSC 21101601 Planters, a Commodity code, encompasses horticultural containers and growing systems for plant production that state and local governments source for landscaping, habitat restoration, and community beautification projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring planters primarily through specialized nursery services and plant-supply contracts rather than standalone planter procurement, with the work encompassing custom container plant production, propagation support, and bulk plant inventory management across multiple container sizes. County and school-district procurement offices represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, with occasional activity from special districts and cooperative purchasing organizations.

The County of Orange, California, issued the most substantial recent opportunity—RFP 0122949801ST for California Native Container Plant Supply and Services, due January 20, 2026—seeking vendors qualified to grow 83 native plant species in containers ranging from 2-inch rose pots to 5-gallon containers and deliver up to 5,000 plants annually with propagation and educational training support. Respondents required five years of active nursery operations, at least one acre of coastal Southern California production space, and capability of growing a minimum of 40 native plant species; the contract offers a three-year initial term with two-year renewal options and includes local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preferences. The source contains no other substantive planter-related solicitations—Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP and Butts County School System's food-bid are unrelated to the code's scope. Recent activity appears concentrated in California, with limited geographic spread across other states evident in the available opportunities.
