UNSPSC 70110000: Horticulture

UNSPSC 70110000 Horticulture is a Family code encompassing the maintenance, design, and installation of landscaped grounds, parks, medians, and horticultural amenities across municipal and county assets. State and local governments procure under this code for grounds maintenance contracts covering mowing, turf care, planting, invasive species removal, and landscape design—work directed at parks, recreation facilities, transit facilities, utilities infrastructure, school grounds, and public rights-of-way. Recent activity spans transit authorities, parks departments, counties, cities, school districts, and special districts across Florida, California, Oregon, Connecticut, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, and South Carolina, with particular concentration in Florida where multiple jurisdictions (Tampa, Pembroke Pines, Beaverton, Collier County, Orange County, City of Harrisburg) issued solicitations in the past 60 days. The issuing bodies mix includes county commissions, city parks and recreation departments, transit agencies, and school districts; no single buyer dominates, but transit and parks departments appear most frequently in the recent activity stream.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope: Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 25-8571 on July 16, 2026 (due August 17) for transit shelters and site amenities including solar-lit structures, benches, waste containers, and bike racks for the Collier Area Transit system, with federal funding and Davis-Bacon wage requirements; the City of Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation Department issued RFP for median landscape and hardscape maintenance covering 13 miles of medians and roundabouts (due July 17, 2026), requiring a C-27 Landscaping Contractor license and three years of municipal experience with prevailing wage and living wage compliance; Hillsborough County issued ITB 26-00311 on June 30, 2026 (due July 20) for a three-year mosquito control program with an estimated value of $2.756 million, requiring aerial and ground spraying services with breeding-site elimination across designated areas; the City of Wichita issued ITB 260149 on July 1 (due July 17) for on-call tree trimming, pruning, and removal under prevailing wage rates with certified arborist and ISA certification requirements. Activity is active across jurisdictions and contract types (IFB, ITB, RFP), with most deadlines clustered in July 2026 and work scopes reflecting seasonal landscape and grounds needs typical of late spring and summer procurement cycles.
