UNSPSC 21101602: Transplanters

UNSPSC 21101602 Transplanters is a Commodity code that captures the supply, installation, and maintenance of trees and shrubs for municipal landscaping, park renovation, street tree programs, and environmental restoration projects. State and local governments procure transplanters as part of broader vegetation management and capital improvement initiatives, including the furnishing and planting of native and ornamental species, removal and replacement services, ongoing maintenance through establishment periods, and survivability guarantees. The issuing bodies span city departments of public works and parks, county environmental services agencies, municipal purchasing offices, and special-purpose environmental authorities. Cities of Jackson, Michigan; Palm Bay, Florida; Detroit, Michigan; and Atlanta, Georgia, along with the Maryland Environmental Service and Graceville City paired with Alachua County, Florida, have posted recent solicitations under or closely aligned with this code's scope.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. The City of Jackson, Michigan issued an IFB in June 2026 for furnishing, delivering, planting, maintaining, and guaranteeing approximately 200 street trees across a minimum of 15 species for fall 2026 planting, with contract renewal options through spring 2028, prevailing wage compliance, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements, and a response deadline of July 14, 2026. The Maryland Environmental Service solicited competitive sealed bids in April 2026 for a three-year contract to supply, remove, install, and maintain 256 plants (151 trees and 105 shrubs) at the Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center, with a 20 percent MBE set-aside, mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit in mid-April 2026, and a response deadline of April 30, 2026. Graceville City and Alachua County, Florida posted an IFB in July 2026 for renovation of a 0.15-acre wildflower garden including site preparation, new plantings, pergolas, and trail improvements, with response due July 22, 2026. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued an ITB in May 2026 for the purchase and installation of four six-inch native Live Oak trees with a June 2, 2026 deadline. These solicitations reflect demand for both standalone tree and shrub supply-and-install contracts and integrated landscape renovation work bundling transplanters with hardscape and site work.
