UNSPSC 30121801: Tree grating

A protective cover surrounding the trunk of a tree.

UNSPSC 30121801 Tree grating, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply and installation of protective grates and guards around tree bases and trunks, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being used to procure broader landscaping materials and services including grounds maintenance, nursery plants, and tree replacement rather than tree grates specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought under it in recent postings indicates limited direct procurement activity for tree gratings themselves. School districts, county governments, and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies posting under this code, with solicitations ranging from annual landscape and irrigation maintenance contracts to one-time tree planting and replacement projects to supplies of nursery stock and plantings on an as-needed basis.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted ITB 26246ITBMST on September 28, 2026 for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services with proposals due August 5, 2026, encouraging participation from small business enterprises and certified minority-owned businesses. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued a re-bid ITB 26-085-KY on August 24, 2026 for nursery plants and products including annuals, plugs, trees, and grass seeds on an as-needed basis, with bids due July 29, 2026 and a contract term commencing October 1, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB 26-8667 on June 18, 2026 for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division, with historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000, and the City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 39ITB26 on May 14, 2026 for purchase and installation of four native Live Oak trees with a June 2, 2026 response date. The City of Arlington, Texas solicited monthly grounds maintenance on September 3, 2026 with an October 1, 2026 due date. Given the gap between the code name and actual purchasing patterns, this code shows limited activity directly targeting tree gratings as a standalone product line.
