UNSPSC 30121801: Tree grating

A protective cover surrounding the trunk of a tree.

UNSPSC 30121801 Tree grating (Commodity) covers the supply and installation of native and ornamental tree specimens for landscaping and community beautification, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations focused on tree purchase, delivery, and planting services. The code sees activity primarily from Florida municipalities and special-purpose districts, alongside one Georgia county procurement and university-level activity. Representative recent work includes the City of Tarpon Springs' ITB 260134BPH for purchase, delivery, and installation of 34 trees (10 Live Oak, 10 Bald Cypress, 7 Shady Lady Black Olive, 7 Silver Buttonwood) across designated city locations with a 90-day replacement guarantee and $29,600 total project budget, due April 22, 2026; and the City of Palm Bay's ITB 39ITB26 for the purchase and installation of four six-inch native Live Oak trees, due June 2, 2026. Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for the Pelican Bay Services Division solicited unit pricing on 78 line items of plant materials including trees, shrubs, grasses, and sod in multiple sizes from licensed Florida nurseries, with FOB delivery to Naples and a three-year contract term reflecting historical annual expenditures near $300,000, due July 8, 2026. Bidders across these solicitations typically must demonstrate three to five years of commercial landscape experience, provide project references, carry $1,000,000 general liability insurance with the issuing body named as additional insured, and comply with Florida Department of Agriculture standards and E-Verify enrollment.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Collier, Brevard, Pinellas, and Volusia counties and the cities of Palm Bay, Tarpon Springs, and Altamonte Springs), with additional municipal and university procurement in Georgia and Texas. The City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-067-FH for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, due April 24, 2026, grouped purchasing into annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees with firm fixed discounts off published catalog pricing and delivery within 15 to 30 days. The University of Texas at Austin issued RFP 721-26075 for Event Floral Services (due May 22, 2026) and RFP 721-26062 for Floral Design Services (due March 6, 2026), both seeking custom floral arrangements and installations for campus events with 15-year minimum industry experience and Austin-area operations required; both RFPs included mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plan compliance. Contract terms typically span three years with optional one- or two-year renewals, and pricing often requires firm fixed costs or discount percentages with delivery included. Insurance requirements, E-Verify certification, and conflict-of-interest certifications are standard across issuing bodies.
