UNSPSC 10152018: Tahuari negro tree seed or cutting

Bignoniaceae family tree seed

UNSPSC 10152018 Tahuari negro tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little direct purchasing of this specific species. Instead, the recent solicitations under this code span broad tree and landscape installation, maintenance, and seed-collection services across municipal, county, and state buying bodies. State and local governments are soliciting everything from street tree planting contracts (200+ trees per project) to specialized seed collection and containerized seedling production to tree maintenance and removal. The solicitation mix reflects the scope of work actually being performed: furnishing, planting, and guaranteeing trees for multiple growing seasons; collecting native tree seeds and propagating container plants for ecosystem restoration; providing landscape and irrigation installation across municipal rights-of-way and park systems; and performing tree pruning, removal, and underbrush clearing. Issuing bodies include state departments of natural resources (Michigan, Maryland), county commissioners and purchasing offices (Harris, Hillsborough, Collier, DeKalb, Pasco, Williamson), municipal procurement departments (Jackson, Charlotte, Arlington, Dallas, Savannah, Fitchburg, Santa Fe, DeBary, Palm Beach), and independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Repeat buyers include the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (multiple containerized seedling and restoration seed RFPs), Collier County (tree and shrub supply, tree installation), and the City of Jackson (street tree planting in two rebid cycles).

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Recent activity clusters in Michigan (containerized seedlings, native seed collection, street tree planting), Florida (Collier County tree supply, landscape installation, palm planting across multiple municipalities), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (Harris County tree supply, Williamson County tree replanting, Dallas Park and Recreation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Jackson, Michigan, Street Tree Purchase & Planting Rebid #2 (IFB, September 30, 2026 due date, ~200 trees for spring 2027 planting across 37 species with one-year establishment maintenance); Michigan Department of Natural Resources Waterloo and Lake Hudson Tree and Seed collection (awarded to Wildtype Design Native Plants and Seed LTD for $31,415.00 at Waterloo and $19,395.00 at Lake Hudson, covering native black oak, white oak, flowering dogwood, black cherry, and pignut hickory seeds and container plants); Collier County Pelican Bay Furnish and Install Trees (Quick Quote, September 28, 2026 due date, six tree and palm species in 45-gallon and 12'–14' heights); Hillsborough County Public Schools Landscape and Irrigation Installation, Maintenance and Repair (ITB, August 5, 2026 due date); and Hillsborough County Tree Replanting of Scenic Roads (ITB, May 26, 2026 due date, $742,380.00 estimated value across eight scenic corridors with six-month establishment and 12-month warranty periods). Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—MBE participation goals (Maryland Environmental Service, 10%), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements (Michigan USDA-funded projects), local-vendor preference (City of Savannah, hard 12-month local business certificate requirement), and small business preference encouragement (Hillsborough County Public Schools).
