UNSPSC 60103907: Aquaria plants

UNSPSC 60103907 Aquaria plants is a Commodity code encompassing native aquatic and coastal vegetation installation, site preparation, and survival guarantees for habitat restoration and coastal resiliency projects. State and local governments use this code to procure dune and mangrove restoration work, herbicide and invasive-species control, and associated labor, materials, and equipment for wetland and shoreline projects, often with federal compliance requirements when funded through disaster recovery or environmental grants. Recent solicitations show county-level issuing bodies—primarily Florida and Georgia counties—contracting for large-scale planting operations with performance guarantees, species-specific sourcing, and seasonal coordination with wildlife protection programs. The Okaloosa County Western Destin Dune Vegetation Project (ITB ITBTDD6226, due July 8, 2026) sought approximately 130,814 dune-plant units with an 80% survival rate requirement at 180 days post-installation and an estimated budget of $460,200 under FEMA disaster-recovery funding. Hillsborough County's Herbicide Spraying and Planting ITB (ITB2600339, due August 3, 2026) valued at $544,532.50 requested three-year chemical vegetation control for invasive species across county mitigation and drainage sites, with bidders required to hold Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licenses in Right-of-Way and Aquatic Pest Control categories. Collier County's Pelican Bay Clam Bay Mangrove Restoration Quick Quote (QQ2026116, due May 12, 2026) sought installation of approximately 4,766 native coastal plants across 7 acres of shoreline, with unit pricing per plant species and mandatory coordination with the Collier County Sea Turtle Program during nesting season.

Activity clusters in coastal Florida (Okaloosa, Hillsborough, and Collier Counties) and extends to inland Georgia (DeKalb County), with recent opportunities posted between April and July 2026. The code shows significant engagement from county boards of commissioners managing environmental services, public works, and coastal resiliency portfolios. Issuing bodies require proof of habitat-restoration experience, compliance with state nursery standards, valid pesticide applicator licenses where applicable, and insurance including workers' compensation and general liability. Performance bonds typically apply to awards exceeding $200,000, and contracts frequently impose annual price escalation provisions tied to the Consumer Price Index. Seasonal constraints tied to marine-turtle nesting protection (May 1–October 31 in Florida) materially affect project schedules and labor deployment.
