UNSPSC 60103907: Aquaria plants

UNSPSC 60103907 Aquaria plants (Commodity) covers native dune and coastal habitat vegetation installation and restoration services purchased by state and local governments to stabilize shorelines, restore coastal ecosystems, and recover hurricane-damaged dunes—work that includes site preparation, planting of native species at specified densities and spacing, post-installation survival monitoring, and compliance with environmental permits for wildlife protection. The issuing bodies are primarily Florida county governments and municipalities, with Okaloosa County, Collier County, and the City of Palm Bay appearing as repeat buyers undertaking multiple restoration phases within the same calendar year. Work spans habitat restoration projects (mangrove and dune plantings following tropical season damage) and municipal-scale revegetation initiatives tied to FEMA disaster recovery grants and local coastal resilience priorities.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Florida, driven by 2024 hurricane recovery demand. Representative solicitations include Okaloosa County's Western Destin Dune Vegetation Project (ITB ITBTDD6226, response due July 8, 2026), a FEMA-funded project for approximately 130,814 native dune plants with an estimated budget of $460,200 and an 80 percent minimum survival-rate requirement at 180 days post-installation; Collier County's Pelican Bay Clam Bay Mangrove Restoration (Quick Quote QQ2026116, response due May 12, 2026), seeking installation of approximately 4,766 native coastal plants across 7 acres with unit-cost pricing and vendor selection based on lowest responsive quote; and Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (Quick Quote QQ2026102, response due March 13, 2026), covering approximately 56,250 native dune plants installed in designated coastal zones following hurricane damage. Contracts require proof of E-Verify enrollment, compliance with Florida nursery standards and certifications, workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance with Collier County or the county as additional insured, and performance bonds on larger awards. The code shows no recent activity outside Florida in the sourced data.
