UNSPSC 10152011: Ceticio tree seed or seedlings

A tree or bush of 1.5 meters high with yellow flowers, pubescent fruits. Scientific name is cytisus racemosa.

UNSPSC 10152011 Ceticio tree seed or seedlings (Commodity) does not align with the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve tree and palm furnishing, planting, installation, and landscape maintenance services—operational services requiring labor, site preparation, equipment, and ongoing care—rather than seed or seedling procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent solicitation activity is substantial. Hillsborough County has posted two tree replanting and landscape maintenance contracts (ITB-26-00125 for $935,275.00 and ITB-26-00257 for $742,380.00); the City of Jackson, Michigan solicited street tree furnishing and planting services with prevailing wage requirements under USDA funding; Collier County sought plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division with approximately $300,000 in historical annual spending; and the City of Charlotte issued an RFP for landscaping and tree planting across multiple departmental programs. The Town of Palm Beach, the City of Tampa, and Collier County's Road, Bridge & Stormwater Division have each posted palm tree and landscape installation contracts. Maryland Environmental Service and the Maryland Port Administration funded an RFP for procurement, planting, and maintenance of approximately 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area with a 10% MBE participation goal. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road; Escambia County's CRA solicited hazardous tree removal; and the City of Salem, Oregon posted streetscape improvements including landscape installation and irrigation. Activity spans Florida (Hillsborough, Collier, Escambia, Pasco counties and the cities of Tampa and Palm Beach), Michigan, Maryland, Georgia (DeKalb County), North Carolina (Charlotte), Oregon (Salem), and Texas (Williamson County). The code shows no current market for tree seed or seedling procurement in state and local procurement systems; activity in tree-related commodities centers on mature plant material and installation services. Firms pursuing state and local work in tree supply and landscaping should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies, as the current taxonomy assignment does not reflect buying patterns in this category.
