UNSPSC 10152017: Taya or tara tree seed or cutting

Leguminosae family tree variety seed or caesalpinoideae

UNSPSC 10152017 Taya or tara tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent solicitations nominally coded to this entry span tree and palm planting, removal, maintenance, and landscaping services—not taya or tara seeds or cuttings. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity is pronounced: the City of Jackson, Michigan's street tree furnishing and planting contract (ENG 25-04C, due July 14, 2026) calls for approximately 200 trees across 15 species with planting, maintenance, and guarantee services; Hillsborough County's tree replanting along scenic roads (ITB-26-00125 and ITB-26-00257, February and May 2026) encompasses site prep, soil amendment, planting of native Florida species, and 12-month warranty periods; and Collier County's acquisition of plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026) involves unit pricing for 78 line items of ornamental plants and sod, with three-year terms. The issuing bodies are primarily county governments and municipalities—Hillsborough County, Collier County, the City of Jackson, the City of Charlotte, the Town of Palm Beach, Pasco County, Escambia County, and the City of Salem, Oregon—alongside state agencies such as the Maryland Environmental Service. These jurisdictions solicit tree and landscaping services regularly across multiple fiscal years, with activity concentrated in Florida, Michigan, Georgia, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, and North Carolina.

The code sees persistent procurement activity in the southeastern United States, particularly Florida, where Hillsborough County, Collier County, and several municipalities issue repeated solicitations for tree replanting, palm replacement, and landscape maintenance. Representative solicitations include the City of Jackson's USDA-funded street tree contract requiring Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance (Commodity code activity that again deviates from the nominal taya-seed scope), Hillsborough County's $742,380 tree replanting ITB with six-month establishment and 12-month warranty periods, and the Maryland Environmental Service's RFP for procurement, planting, and maintenance of up to 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area under a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant with a 10 percent MBE participation goal. While the code designation does not align with actual solicitation content, the pattern shows sustained municipal and county demand for installed, warranted landscape and tree services rather than seeds or cuttings themselves. Business development professionals should note the disconnect between this code and the services being bought; opportunities under this tag involve full-service tree installation, maintenance, and landscape operations, not horticultural inputs or propagation materials.
