UNSPSC 10152021: Sangre de grado tree seed or cutting

Tree seed of the euphorbiaceae family. When cut, the bark secretes a reddish latex which is known as sangre de grado and has medicinal properties

UNSPSC 10152021 Sangre de grado tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but is not actively solicited under that designation. Recent solicitation activity tags the code to opportunities for street tree purchase and planting, native tree seedlings and services, landscape installation with trees and shrubs, and tree removal or maintenance work—none of which involve sangre de grado specifically or tree seeds and cuttings as a primary commodity. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope (sangre de grado propagation material) and the generalized tree and landscaping work actually being procured suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing offices or rarely used in state and local purchasing.

No recent state and local contract opportunities explicitly solicit sangre de grado tree seed or cuttings. Jurisdictions across Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Maryland are active in street tree planting, native seedling procurement, grounds maintenance, and landscape restoration, but these solicitations—including the Michigan Department of Natural Resources containerized seedlings contracts, Collier County's Pelican Bay tree and shrub furnishing, and municipal tree-planting programs in Jackson, Charlotte, and Savannah—specify common ornamental and native North American species, not tropical propagation material. The code's narrow botanical focus and the absence of documented demand for sangre de grado in state and local procurement make pursuit under this code impractical at present; vendors positioned in broader tree and landscaping supply or installation should monitor the general landscape and arboriculture codes instead.
