UNSPSC 70111500: Plants and ornamental trees

UNSPSC 70111500 Plants and ornamental trees is a Class code that encompasses the supply, installation, and maintenance of trees, shrubs, and related landscape plantings across state and local public property. Recent solicitations show demand for tree supply and installation, landscape beautification and grounds maintenance, median and right-of-way plantings, turf and shrub care, and specialized services such as erosion control planting and urban tree canopy expansion. State and local issuing bodies include Texas prison facilities, Mississippi state hospitals, Florida counties and municipalities, Georgia cities and counties, Connecticut municipalities, Oregon agencies, Nevada military facilities, and special districts; cities and county governments dominate the recent activity, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing multiple times for fertilizer and application services. Geographic concentration spans Texas (multiple TDCJ solicitations), Florida (Walton County, Lee County Port Authority, Seminole County, Palm Beach), Georgia (Fayette County, City of Atlanta, City of Milton, Chamblee), California (Thousand Oaks, Santa Cruz), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Oregon, Nevada, Michigan, South Carolina, and other states.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Norwalk, Connecticut requesting supply and planting of trees and shrubs at various municipal locations (RFP due August 4, 2026); Walton County, Florida seeking multi-use path and rights-of-way maintenance including vegetation control and tree trimming on a seven-day cycle March through October (ITB 26-20 due August 6, 2026); the City of Fort Worth soliciting non-exclusive grounds maintenance for citywide unimproved alleyways with a 30% small business participation goal (RFP due August 6, 2026); the City of Pittsburgh establishing a pre-qualified contractor list for tree planting, supply, installation, and three-year maintenance across restoration projects and streetscape initiatives (PQMA response deadline March 31, 2030); East Mississippi State Hospital requesting comprehensive beautification services including seasonal plantings and grounds care at Meridian campuses (IFBD due August 11, 2026); and Collier County furnishing and installing trees and palms across 48 tree species and 32 palm species with removal and relocation services over a three-year term (ITB 25-8517 due June 26, 2026). Activity appears steady with mixed contract terms ranging from one-time projects to multi-year standing agreements, and pricing generally embedded in lump-sum or unit-price structures tied to species, acreage, labor, and maintenance cycles.
