UNSPSC 10161502: Coffee shrubs

UNSPSC 10161502 Coffee shrubs is a Commodity code that nominally addresses the procurement of coffee plant material; however, state and local governments show no recent purchasing activity under this code specifically for coffee shrubs. The recent opportunities posted under or near this classification span tree planting, landscape installation, and grounds maintenance work — arboricultural services and ornamental plant supply rather than coffee agricultural commodities. Harris County issued ITB 26/0241 for supply of various trees and related items (posted September 4, 2026, due September 28, 2026), and the City of Fitchburg, Wisconsin solicited bids for the 2026 Fall Tree Planting Project under RFP 2026FALLTREES (posted July 27, 2026, due August 25, 2026), encompassing 66 trees across 17 hardwood and ornamental species including Maple, Oak, Hackberry, and Elm planted at street and park locations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00257 for tree replanting of scenic roadways (posted April 29, 2026, due May 26, 2026) estimated at $742,380 for one year of landscape installation and maintenance including site prep, planting, and establishment care. The Town of Palm Beach, Florida solicited bids for Royal Palm and Green Malayan Coconut Palm installation on Peruvian Avenue under ITB 2026-036 (posted April 29, 2026, due May 29, 2026). These procurements are issued by counties, cities, and special districts with mixed issuing patterns across the jurisdiction types.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Hillsborough County, Palm Beach), Texas (Harris County, City of Arlington), Wisconsin (Fitchburg), and Georgia (DeKalb County), with no evidence of concentrated procurement across a narrower geographic footprint. The scope of recent work diverges substantially from the code's nominal focus on coffee shrubs — state and local governments are acquiring hardwood and ornamental shade trees, street-tree plantings, landscape installation services, and grounds maintenance contracts. The mismatch between the code name and actual recent procurement activity suggests this code sees minimal, if any, genuine coffee-shrub purchasing at the state and local level. Business development professionals evaluating this code should note that current opportunities reflect landscaping and municipal arboriculture services rather than agricultural commodity supply and reflect no active market for coffee plant material in state and local government procurement.
