UNSPSC 10152028: Palo de rosa tree seed or cutting

Apocynaceae family tree seed

UNSPSC 10152028 Palo de rosa tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to the nominal code scope — state and local governments are sourcing tree seeds, seedlings, and containerized plant material for restoration, landscaping, and beautification projects, but palo de rosa (Dalbergia nigra, a tropical hardwood species) does not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed. Instead, purchasing bodies are procuring high-volume native and ornamental species suited to regional climates: black oak, white oak, flowering dogwood, red maple, and conifer seedlings in the Midwest; live oak, magnolia, buttonwood, and foxtail palm in Florida; and serviceberry, hackberry, ginkgo, and swamp white oak in Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest. The issuing bodies include state natural-resource departments (Michigan Department of Natural Resources), county governments (Collier County, Hillsborough County, Harris County, Gwinnett County, DeKalb County), municipal parks and recreation departments (City of Jackson, City of Savannah, City of Charlotte, City of Fitchburg, Dallas Park and Recreation), and a transit or special-purpose district (Maryland Environmental Service). The code shows active procurement across landscape installation and tree-planting contracts, seed and seedling supply agreements, and renewal multi-year frameworks for restoration and maintenance work.

Recent opportunities span the Upper Midwest (Michigan, Wisconsin) and Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas). The Michigan Department of Natural Resources posted two large seedling-supply RFPs in July and August 2026 for containerized conifer and hardwood seedlings — RFP 26-2354 (proposals due August 17, 2026) with a five-year award to PRT USA, INC valued at $6.25 million, and a separate RFP 26-2320 for native tree seeds and container plants at Waterloo and Lake Hudson recreation areas (proposals due August 6, 2026, awarded to Wildtype Design Native Plants and Seed LTD for $31,415.00 total). The City of Jackson, Michigan posted two street-tree procurement rebids under ENG 25-04C for approximately 200 trees across 37 species (proposals due July 14 and September 30, 2026, with USDA funding and Davis-Bacon compliance). Collier County, Florida issued Quick Quote QQ2026148 for furnishing and installing trees and palms in Pelican Bay (responses due September 28, 2026) and an earlier ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs on an as-required basis with approximately $300,000 estimated annual spend (proposals due July 8, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited landscape and irrigation installation services under ITB 26246ITBMST (proposals due August 5, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners posted ITB 26-00257 for tree replanting on scenic roads estimated at $742,380.00 (proposals due May 26, 2026). The code shows no recent solicitations specifically for palo de rosa seed or cuttings; the mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC code and the actual purchasing activity reflects a gap in the taxonomy's capture of tropical hardwood seed procurement or signals limited state and local demand for that particular species.
