UNSPSC 10152054: Cacao or cocoa tree seed

Seed from the cacao tree.

UNSPSC 10152054 Cacao or cocoa tree seed is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no purchases of cacao or cocoa tree seed. Instead, solicitations tagged with this code involve native tree seedlings, containerized seedlings for forest restoration, street tree planting and maintenance, landscape vegetation installation, and tree removal services across parks and municipal rights-of-way—none of which relate to cacao or cocoa cultivation. The code designation appears to be a mismatch with the actual procurement intent.

The issuing bodies soliciting tree-related work include cities (Jackson, Fitchburg, Charlotte, Savannah, Arlington, DeBary, Ocala, Santa Fe, Palm Beach), counties (Collier, Hillsborough, Harris, Pasco, Williamson, DeKalb), state natural resources and environmental departments (Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Environmental Service), independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and special-purpose districts (airports, parks departments). The most frequent repeat buyers are the City of Jackson, Michigan (two street tree planting rebids posted in July and September 2026) and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (multiple containerized seedling and native tree collection RFPs for reforestation and recreation area restoration). Recent opportunities span Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Maryland, with notable concentration in Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County, DeBary, Palm Beach, Ocala, Santa Fe) and Michigan (Jackson, state DNR contracts). Representative solicitations include the City of Jackson's IFB ENG 25-04C for furnishing, delivering, planting, and maintaining approximately 200 street trees across 15 species for spring 2027 planting with bids due September 30, 2026; the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' RFP 26-2354 for custom-grown containerized conifer and hardwood seedlings with proposals due August 17, 2026; Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00257 for tree replanting of scenic roads estimated at $742,380.00 with bids due May 26, 2026; and Collier County's quick quote for furnishing and installing trees and palms in Pelican Bay with responses due September 28, 2026. The code shows active tree-related procurement but does not reflect cacao or cocoa tree seed sourcing under state and local jurisdiction.
