UNSPSC 70111508: Plants or ornamental tree spraying services

UNSPSC 70111508 Plants or ornamental tree spraying services is a Commodity code capturing the pest management and vegetation treatment work that state and local governments actively procure for facilities, grounds, and natural areas. Government buyers use this code for integrated pest management (IPM) services covering insect and rodent control, mosquito abatement, tree inoculation, and invasive plant removal—work driven by public health needs, facility maintenance, vector control, and environmental management across parks, administrative buildings, water treatment plants, transit facilities, and schools.

State and local governments across the country are procuring under this code at a high pace. Issuing bodies span city departments (Orlando, Tampa, Ocala, Winter Park, South Fulton, Tucson, Olathe), county governments (Hillsborough, Volusia, Clay, Collier, Pinellas, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, Sarasota, Harris), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, California Department of Food and Agriculture, New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Middle Georgia State University, Columbus State University), and school districts (Midland Public Schools, Valencia College). Hillsborough County, Florida—home to the Tampa metropolitan area—appears as a repeat buyer across mosquito control (aerial and ground spraying), general pest control, and specialized services. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa RFQ 26-P-00436 for wildlife removal and prevention at 100 locations (response due July 22, 2026); the City of Phoenix IFB-27-0400 for manhole roach treatment across 100,000 structures in a five-year contract (due July 30, 2026); Hillsborough County ITB-26-00311 for aerial and ground mosquito control spraying at an estimated $2.756 million over three years (due July 20, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016771v2 for statewide mosquito control aerial spray and fumigation services with historical value of $2.25 million over five years (due July 24, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Phoenix, Orlando, South Fulton, Clay County, Collier, Pinellas, Volusia, Sarasota, Winter Park, Pembroke Pines, Gainesville, Ocala), Texas (San Angelo, statewide HHSC and DSHS), Georgia (Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, South Fulton, Columbus), Arizona (Phoenix), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Maryland, California, Kansas, Michigan, Colorado, and New Jersey. Contracts typically run two to five years with multiple renewal options, fixed or CPI-indexed pricing, firm insurance requirements ($1 million general liability standard), and state pesticide licensing mandates. Set-asides for MBE, WBE, SBE, and DBE certifications appear in select solicitations; local preferences apply in several jurisdictions (Orange County, Gainesville, Volusia, Olathe). Bonding is rare; payment terms cluster at net 30 to net 45 days post-invoice.
