UNSPSC 10152043: Cumala tree seed or cutting

Myristicaceae family tree seed

UNSPSC 10152043 Cumala tree seed or cutting is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct purchasing activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking cumala seeds or cuttings. Instead, state and local governments are procuring shade trees, palms, native species, and ornamental plantings through landscape installation and maintenance contracts that specify species by common and botanical name — Royal Palms, Green Malayan Coconuts, native Florida species, and drought-tolerant varieties — but do not reference cumala or related tropical species. The issuing bodies span municipal parks and public works departments (City of Charlotte, City of Jackson, City of Tampa, Town of Palm Beach), county government (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Pasco County, Escambia County), and state environmental and transit authorities (Maryland Environmental Service). Tree and palm procurement appears concentrated in Florida and the Southeast, with scattered activity in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.

The actual procurement pattern under this code shows robust demand for complete landscape services—site preparation, planting, irrigation installation, mulching, fertilization, watering, and maintenance over establishment and warranty periods—rather than seeds or raw cuttings alone. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's tree replanting of scenic roads (ITB-26-00125, due February 27, 2026, estimated $935,275 for one-year contract); the City of Jackson's street tree purchase and planting (ENG 25-04C, due July 14, 2026, USDA-funded with Davis-Bacon compliance, furnishing approximately 200 trees); Collier County's tree and palm replacement along Goodlette Frank Road (due December 19, 2025, capped at $250,000); and the City of Charlotte's landscaping and tree planting RFP (due July 23, 2026, covering neighborhood tree planting, canopy care, and stump grinding). Set-asides include MBE participation goals (Maryland Environmental Service, 10% goal), local-vendor preferences (Pasco County, Collier County), ESBD designation (Texas), and prevailing wage and DBE requirements (Jackson, Michigan). Cumala species do not appear in any recent posting, suggesting limited relevance to current state and local procurement under this code.
