UNSPSC 81101517: Landscape architecture and design service

Consultancy related to landscape architecture and design

UNSPSC 81101517 Landscape architecture and design service is a Commodity code spanning the breadth of landscape design and site planning services that state and local governments procure for parks, public facilities, institutional grounds, and infrastructure corridors. Recent state and local opportunities show a mix of design-only engagement (master plans, feasibility studies, site assessments), design-and-construction-phase administration work, and full site development where landscape architects coordinate with engineers and construction teams on everything from trail systems and park improvements to erosion mitigation and utility facility grounds. The issuing bodies are diverse: counties (Rockland County, New York; Orange County, California; Santa Rosa County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Harris County, Texas), cities (Jackson, Michigan; Stamford, Connecticut; Fairburn, Georgia; St. Cloud, Florida; New Haven, Connecticut; Corvallis, Oregon; Dallas, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Amarillo, Texas), school districts (Manor ISD, Texas; Fulton County Schools, Georgia), special districts (West Basin Municipal Water District, California; West Travis County Public Utility Agency, Texas), higher-education institutions (University of Connecticut; Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University-Texarkana), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, California), tribal governments (Gila River Indian Community, Arizona), and regional councils of governments (RiverCOG, Connecticut; WestCOG, Connecticut). Repeat buyers in the recent window include the City of Stamford, Connecticut (tree canopy assessment, irrigation design for golf course), the City of Orlando, Florida (flood mitigation design in two basins), and Seminole County, Florida (owner representation and architectural/engineering services for an indoor sports complex).

Work being solicited ranges from single-discipline design services—such as irrigation design at a golf course (City of Stamford) or landscape design assistance for turf replacement programs (West Basin Water District)—to multi-phase, multi-discipline engagements encompassing preliminary planning, feasibility studies, schematic design, construction documents, permitting, and construction administration. Recent high-profile examples include the Sharp Park mountain-bike trail design and construction (City of Jackson, Michigan; RFP with 12.5 miles of trail work, $434,579 design and construction plus $570,000 in amenities, proposals due August 10, 2026), the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park Phase 2B comprehensive site development (Collier County, Florida; $31 million sealed-bid project with park roadways, utilities, 1.3 million square feet of sod, stormwater systems, and hardscape, bids due May 11, 2026), the Central Connecticut Loop Trail design (RiverCOG; 23-mile gap-closing trail linking two heritage trails, design services RFQ with August 7, 2026 deadline), and the Balfour Park Phase 1 Improvements (City of Thomasville, Georgia; park with pavilion, restroom building, parking, utilities, landscaping, and site preparation for owner-furnished playground and splash pad, bids due August 5, 2026). Smaller recurring work includes grounds maintenance contracts (landscaping, turf care, tree services, invasive plant removal at municipal facilities, parks, and utility operations centers), site preparation and hardscape for parks (Chason Park embankment slide in Bainbridge, Georgia; Alfred A. Ring Park wildflower garden renovation in Graceville/Alachua County, Florida), and building and facility site assessments (pre-development studies for historic adaptive reuse at Edgerton Park in New Haven, Connecticut). Geographic spread is national, with recent activity concentrated in Texas (Amarillo, Dallas, Austin-area utilities, Lubbock, Gila River Indian Community in Arizona), Florida (Orlando, Seminole County, Collier County, Santa Rosa County, Dania Beach, St. Cloud, New Haven), the Northeast (Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts), the Midwest (Michigan, Ohio), California (Orange County, West Basin), and Georgia (Atlanta, Thomasville, Fairburn, Union City, Bainbridge, Stockbridge). The frequency and dollar range of opportunities across this code reflects steady state and local investment in park and grounds improvements, resilience infrastructure, and facility renewal, particularly where federal grant funding (CDBG, HMGP, FEMA) or special district resources are available.
