UNSPSC 70111603 Floriculture services is a Commodity code covering the supply, installation, and maintenance of ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and associated landscape work that state and local governments procure to beautify and maintain public facilities, parks, rights-of-way, and grounds. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs), counties (Seminole County, Collier County, Dorchester County, Fayette County), cities (Fort Worth, Santa Cruz, Atlanta, Jackson, Milton, Albany), and special entities (University of Texas-Dallas, Lee County Port Authority). Recent opportunities span fertilizer application at criminal justice facilities (TDCJ multiple IFBs due July 30, 2026), comprehensive beautification and grounds maintenance at hospital campuses (East Mississippi State Hospital IFBD due August 11, 2026), multi-use path and rights-of-way upkeep (Walton County, Florida ITB due August 6, 2026), street tree furnishing and planting (City of Norwalk, Connecticut RFP due August 4, 2026), citywide alleyway grounds maintenance with small-business participation goals (City of Fort Worth RFP due August 6, 2026), and landscape improvements at municipal parks and public spaces across multiple jurisdictions.

The geographic spread of recent activity encompasses Texas (TDCJ multiple facilities, City of Fort Worth, City of Missouri City, City of Amarillo), Florida (Walton County, Seminole County, Collier County, Lee County Port Authority, City of Cooper City, Town of Palm Beach, Graceville and Alachua County), Georgia (East Mississippi State Hospital in Meridian, Cities of Atlanta, Milton, Albany, Chamblee, and Fayette County), Connecticut (City of Norwalk), Wisconsin (City of Fitchburg), California (City of Santa Cruz, City of Thousand Oaks), Michigan (City of Jackson), Oregon (Marion County, State of Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs), Nevada (State of Nevada Office of the Military), New Mexico (City of Santa Fe), Arizona (Tempe Elementary School District), and South Carolina (Dorchester County). Competitive pricing and technical qualifications dominate recent solicitations; many require proof of landscape licenses, arborist certifications, insurance coverage (commonly $1–2 million general liability), and prior municipal or large-scale project experience. Prevailing wage compliance, DBE participation goals, and local-vendor preferences appear in a subset of opportunities, particularly those receiving federal funding (CDBG, Davis-Bacon projects). Contract terms typically range from one to three years with optional renewals; pricing is frequently fixed or subject to annual CPI adjustments. The code shows robust and diversified activity across state departments, regional counties, and municipalities of varying sizes pursuing landscaping, grounds maintenance, tree services, erosion control, and horticultural improvements.
