UNSPSC 30121800: Landscape architecture materials

Materials that beautify landscape. These include tree grating, a rod for tree protection, etc.

UNSPSC 30121800 Landscape architecture materials is a Class code that encompasses the supply of landscape materials—plants, trees, shrubs, mulch, turf, sod, seeds, and related hardscape products—that state and local governments purchase for grounds maintenance, park improvements, site rehabilitation, and facility beautification. Recent solicitations show municipalities and school districts buying plants and seeds as consumables for routine maintenance cycles, while counties and specialized districts source materials for habitat restoration, landfill remediation, and capital improvement projects. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, counties, independent school districts, parks authorities, universities, and special-purpose districts; no single buyer dominates the recent activity.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Altamonte Springs, Collier County, Pelican Bay Services), Massachusetts (Cambridge, Boston, Andover, Brewster), Arizona (Peoria), and California (Orange County), with additional solicitations in Connecticut, Georgia, and North Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, trees) on an as-needed basis with bids due July 29, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across facilities with bids due August 5, 2026; the County of Orange IFB for weed abatement and fuel modification at parks (234 acres annually) with electronic bids due October 22, 2026 and prevailing wage requirements; and North Carolina State University RFQ 63DMP1177978 for hardwood and pine needle mulch (blanket order with pricing for multiple quantity tiers) with proposals due May 21, 2026. The code also captures the City of Cambridge's repeat procurement of landscape materials for Department of Public Works 2026–2028 (bids due July 30 and August 27, 2026 on a re-bid), and the City of Peoria's ongoing crack fill and seal services (estimated $400,000–$600,000 annually, proposals due October 30, 2026). Contract values range from small municipal plantings (four Live Oak trees for Palm Bay, Florida) to multi-year landfill habitat management (Orange County, 250 acres of native habitat restoration with five-year maximum term and potential board approval for contracts exceeding $1 million). Set-asides and preferences appear in Orange County (5% preference for OCLSB and DVBE, capped at $100,000) and Hillsborough County Schools (MBE and SBE preferences through its Office of Supplier Development).
