UNSPSC 10152032: Marupa tree seed or cutting

Simaroubaceae family tree seed

UNSPSC 10152032 Marupa tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates seeds or propagation material for a single tropical tree species (Marupa, a hardwood timber tree), yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting marupa seeds, cuttings, or propagation stock. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit landscape and grounds maintenance services, tree planting and replanting projects, general plant material procurement, and related site work—activities that fall outside the narrow scope of a specific tree seed or cutting commodity.

The mismatch between code and actual demand signals that either the code is being misapplied by issuing jurisdictions or that marupa tree materials represent an immaterial fraction of state and local botanical procurement. Recent activity spans city and county governments soliciting street tree planting (Jackson, Michigan; Charlotte, North Carolina; Palm Beach and Tampa, Florida; Collier County, Florida), airport grounds maintenance (Santa Fe, New Mexico), scenic road replanting (Hillsborough County, Florida; Pasco County, Florida), driveway and facility landscaping (Williamson County, Texas; Salem, Oregon), and urban tree establishment programs (Maryland Environmental Service). No issuing body in the source material has requested marupa seeds, cuttings, or propagation stock. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC designation for any floriculture or nursery-stock procurement they intend to pursue.
