UNSPSC 10152056: Oil palm seed

The seed or kernel of the oil palm tree which is used to produce an edible vegetable oil

UNSPSC 10152056 Oil palm seed is a Commodity code that sees little active procurement from state and local governments based on recent opportunities. The single relevant recent opportunity—Michigan Department of Natural Resources seed collection and growing services for native tree species at Waterloo and Lake Hudson recreation areas—involves native oak, cherry, and hickory seeds rather than oil palm, reflecting a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local demand. The broader pattern in recent opportunities shows state and local governments purchasing tree planting, landscape installation, and grounds maintenance services across many jurisdictions, but the solicitations consistently emphasize native species, ornamental palms, fruit trees, and common street trees (oaks, maples, dogwoods, elms, sycamores) rather than tropical oil palm. When seed procurement appears at all, it targets native forest restoration and invasive-species control rather than oil palm cultivation.

State and local purchasing under this code appears concentrated in a small number of specialized environmental restoration projects rather than representing a broad procurement category. Michigan Department of Natural Resources has issued multiple solicitations for native seedlings and seeds, including the August 2026 award to Wildtype Design Native Plants and Seed LTD for $31,415.00 covering black oak, white oak, black cherry, pignut hickory, and flowering dogwood at two recreation areas. Beyond Michigan's focused restoration work, the remaining recent opportunities across Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County, City of Savannah), Texas (City of Dallas, Williamson County), Georgia (DeKalb County), North Carolina (City of Charlotte), and other states target ornamental landscaping, street tree planting, and grounds maintenance services rather than seed procurement. No recent opportunities identify oil palm seed as a line item or solicitation focus. The code does not represent active state and local procurement volume worth sustained pursuit at this time.
