UNSPSC 10152033: Mahogany tree seed or cutting

Meliaceae family tree seed.

UNSPSC 10152033 Mahogany tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not reflect actual procurement demand. The code is nominally restricted to mahogany propagation material, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span landscape installation, tree planting and maintenance, and grounds management services across a much broader range of native and ornamental species — primarily live oaks, palms, maples, mulberries, tabebuias, buttonwoods, magnolias, and crapemyrtles. The mismatch between the narrow code scope and the wide range of solicited work suggests either systematic miscoding or use of this commodity code as a catchall for tree-related procurement. A small subset of opportunities do involve tree procurement in specified quantities (the City of Jackson, Michigan's 200-tree street planting; the City of Charlotte's multi-program landscaping; Collier County's plant material for Pelican Bay Services at approximately $300,000 annually; the City of Tampa's 500-tree Mayor's Giveaway), but mahogany specifically appears in none of the recent solicitations reviewed. Issuing bodies include county engineering and operations departments (Hillsborough County, Pasco County, Collier County), municipal parks and planning divisions (City of Charlotte, City of Jackson, City of Salem, Town of Palm Beach, City of Santa Fe), state environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service), transit authorities (Baltimore metro area), and special districts (Pelican Bay Services Division). Florida jurisdictions dominate recent activity, with secondary clusters in Michigan, Maryland, Georgia, Texas, and Oregon.

Representative opportunities span landscape and irrigation installation (Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping, $120,000 maximum, IFB KM-26-047 due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Goodlette Frank road tree and palm replacement, $250,000 informal cap, quotes due December 19, 2025), tree planting and establishment (City of Jackson's 200-tree street planting with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, RFQ 2026ENGINEERING023 due July 14, 2026; City of Charlotte's landscaping and tree planting RFP 2692026243 due July 23, 2026; Maryland Environmental Service's up to 800 urban trees in Baltimore County, RFP 1265278 due July 16, 2026), and grounds maintenance with tree care (Santa Fe Regional Airport's comprehensive landscape maintenance and snow removal, ITB FY26ITB037 due December 19, 2025; Hillsborough County's two concurrent tree replanting bids at $742,380 and $935,275 respectively, ITB-26-00257 due May 26, 2026 and ITB-26-00125 due February 27, 2026). Multi-year maintenance and warranty periods of six months to one year are standard across tree and landscape contracts, with liquidated damages commonly ranging from $800 to $1,609 per day for completion delays.
