UNSPSC 10152029: Ojo de paloma tree seed or cutting

Seed known as ojo de paloma

UNSPSC 10152029 Ojo de paloma tree seed or cutting, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within state and local tree procurement, but recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied inconsistently or sparingly. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span street tree planting, native seed collection, containerized seedlings production, and general landscape tree supply—work that falls broadly within shade tree and ornamental forestry but does not consistently center on ojo de paloma specifically. City of Jackson, Michigan's street tree purchase and planting RFP (ENG 25-04C Rebid #2, due September 30, 2026) calls for approximately 200 trees across a minimum of 15 species for spring 2027 planting under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards; the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' RFP 26-2320 for Waterloo and Lake Hudson recreation areas (due September 30, 2026, Notice of Intent to Award issued) targeted native seed collection and container plants including black oak, white oak, flowering dogwood, and black cherry across two sites, with awarded value of $31,415.00 to $12,020.00 for Waterloo and $19,395.00 for Lake Hudson; and Collier County's Quick Quote for tree and palm furnishing and installation in Pelican Bay (due September 28, 2026) specified black olive, buttonwood, live oak, magnolia, foxtail palm, and pygmy date palm materials. The code shows activity concentrated in Michigan, Florida, and Texas, with state natural resources departments and county governments as the primary issuing bodies. Cities, counties, and state departments of natural resources—rather than school districts or transit authorities—dominate the recent posting activity.

The mix of work reflects broader state and local demand for native species restoration, street tree establishment in rights-of-way, and ornamental landscape fill rather than focus on a single commodity species. Michigan Department of Natural Resources has issued multiple RFPs for containerized seedlings and seed services (RFP 260000002354, due August 17, 2026, eventually awarded to PRT USA, INC for $6.25 million over five years; RFP 26-2354, originally posted July 29, 2026, due August 17, also for containerized conifer and hardwood seedlings); Hillsborough County Schools in Florida solicited landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair under ITB 26246ITBMST (due August 5, 2026); and City of Fitchburg, Wisconsin requested fall tree planting across 17 species (66 trees, due August 25, 2026). Geographic concentration is evident in Michigan (multiple DNR seedling and restoration contracts), Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County, City of DeBary landscaping projects), and Texas (City of Arlington grounds maintenance, Pasco County Little Road medians, Williamson County driveway tree replanting). The code's scope as actually procured ranges from wholesale native seed collection to containerized seedling delivery to finished landscape installation with establishment-period maintenance and warranty—a broader activity band than ojo de paloma alone would suggest, signaling either intentional multi-species tagging or administrative classification drift. Vendors pursuing this code should verify actual species requirements in each RFP rather than assume ojo de paloma specificity; opportunities under this Commodity lean heavily toward native oak, hickory, dogwood, and conifer material for state restoration, paired with municipal street tree and ornamental landscaping demand, and are weighted toward the upper Midwest and Southeast.
