UNSPSC 70111501: Planting services or ornamental plant or bush or tree

UNSPSC 70111501 Planting services or ornamental plant or bush or tree is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of landscape design, installation, and establishment services for ornamental vegetation across municipal and county properties. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying comprehensive planting and landscaping services ranging from single-project installations (tree planting, sod installation, median improvements) to ongoing landscape maintenance and grounds keeping at multiple facilities. The City of DeBary, in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation, solicited landscape design and project management services for a U.S. 17-92 corridor enhancement under RFP, with a $227,000 FDOT grant covering plant materials and installation and requiring 50 percent allocation to large plants. The City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations project, posted in October 2026 with an RFP due December 1, 2026, encompasses landscaping and irrigation alongside broader plaza construction. Fulton County, Georgia issued an ITB for landscape maintenance at a South Fulton Demonstration Garden with quarterly pollinator and rain garden upkeep, native plant management, and habitat signage installation, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and water-efficient landscaping expertise. Work is solicited by city and county parks and public works departments, water authorities, school districts, and state entities including transportation departments. The issuing bodies span municipal governments (DeBary, San Antonio, Norcross, Ocala), county agencies (Fulton, Orange County Transportation Authority, Collier, Beaufort), special districts (Orange County Transportation Authority, water agencies), and institutions (Angelo State University, Texas A&M University).

Recent solicitations concentrate in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with activity spreading across county governments managing roadside and facility landscapes, municipal parks divisions maintaining grounds and athletic fields, water utilities managing facility grounds at treatment plants and pump stations, and school districts installing athletic turf and updating campus landscapes. The Orange County Transportation Authority solicited landscape maintenance at 13 facilities across Orange County under IFB with prevailing wage and DBE goals and a $354,050 estimated value. Sacramento County Water Agency and the County of Sacramento Department of Transportation each posted RFPs for multi-site landscape and irrigation maintenance with monthly and unscheduled work, requiring C-27 licensure and ISA Certified Arborist credentials, with contracts running through 2027 and beyond. Collier County requested sod supply and installation and tree planting in rights-of-way with local-vendor preference under county procurement ordinance. Beaufort County issued an IFB for grounds maintenance at a disabilities services building and twelve residential properties with S/MBE compliance requirements. Sarasota County, the City of Tucson, and the City of Jackson, Michigan posted bids for turf installation, park construction with landscaping, and street tree purchase and planting, respectively. The Escambia County Dune Matrix Enhancement Project on Pensacola Beach, federally funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, encompasses native vegetation installation and beach debris removal subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and domestic material preferences. Schools, municipalities, and special districts drive the bulk of recent activity; pursuit depends on regional capacity and relevant certifications (landscape contractor license, arborist credentials, pesticide applicator certification).
