UNSPSC 10152032: Marupa tree seed or cutting

Simaroubaceae family tree seed

UNSPSC 10152032 Marupa tree seed or cutting, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement, collection, propagation, and installation of tree seedlings and seeds across state and local jurisdictions, grounded in recent solicitations that range from street tree furnishing and planting to native species restoration and containerized seedling supply. State and local buyers under this code include city governments (Jackson, Michigan; Charlotte, North Carolina; Arlington, Texas; Savannah, Georgia; DeBary, Florida; Fitchburg, Wisconsin; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Ocala, Florida), county governments (Harris County, Texas; Collier County, Florida; Hillsborough County, Florida; DeKalb County, Georgia; Williamson County, Texas), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida), state agencies (Michigan Department of Natural Resources), municipal utilities and park departments, and special-purpose districts. The work solicited includes furnishing and planting street trees in public rights-of-way with establishment-period maintenance and multi-year warranties; collection and growing of native tree seeds and container plants for habitat restoration; supply of containerized conifer and hardwood seedlings for large-scale reforestation; and landscape and irrigation installation and maintenance across municipal facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Jackson, Michigan's RFP ENG 25-04C (street tree purchase and planting rebid, 200 trees across 15+ species for spring 2027, responses due September 30, 2026); the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' RFP 26-2320 for seed collection and native tree container plants at Waterloo and Lake Hudson recreation areas (Notice of Intent to Award issued September 28, 2026); Collier County's Quick Quote QQ2026148 for tree and palm furnishing and installation in Pelican Bay (responses due September 28, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00257 for tree replanting on scenic roads across unincorporated areas, estimated at $742,380.00 for one year (bids due May 26, 2026).

Geographic spread reflects concentrated recent activity in Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County, Palm Beach, DeBary, Ocala), Michigan (Jackson, Waterloo, Lake Hudson), Texas (Harris County, Arlington, Williamson County, Dallas), and Georgia (Savannah, DeKalb County, Gwinnett County), with secondary activity in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Maryland, and North Carolina. The code sees steady demand across spring and fall planting cycles, with issuing bodies frequently imposing Davis-Bacon Act compliance when federal funding (USDA, EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, enhancement funds) backs the work. Contracts commonly include establishment-period maintenance obligations extending 90 days to one year post-installation, one-year survival warranties with replacement provisions, prevailing wage requirements tied to funding source, performance and payment bonds, and unit pricing structures. Recent solicitations show repeat buyers (City of Jackson, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Hillsborough County, Collier County) and indicate growing emphasis on native species restoration, stormwater landscape integration, and climate resilience planting in urban and regional contexts. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—some solicitations carry MBE participation goals, GDBE subcontracting mandates, or local-vendor preferences, while others apply ESBD set-asides or exclude nonlocal bidders entirely, as with Savannah's restricted procurements for tree pruning and preservation services.
