UNSPSC 10161503: Cocoa trees

UNSPSC 10161503 Cocoa trees is a Commodity code with minimal recent procurement activity tied to its nominal scope. State and local governments rarely solicit cocoa trees specifically; the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being bought. Harris County issued an ITB for supply of various trees and related items (due September 28, 2026), but the scope does not clarify whether cocoa trees are included or represent only a portion of a mixed-species procurement. The remaining opportunities in the dataset—fall tree planting in Fitchburg, Wisconsin; tree replanting on scenic roads in Hillsborough County, Florida; and palm tree installation in Palm Beach, Florida—involve landscape-scale municipal tree supply and installation work across temperate and subtropical species, not cocoa cultivation or supply.

The geographic spread of tree-related procurement activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County and Palm Beach), Wisconsin (Fitchburg), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (Harris County, Dallas County), reflecting broad state and local investment in urban forestry and landscape maintenance. Counties and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies, with Hillsborough County and the City of Fitchburg showing recent tree-supply and installation work. If your firm supplies cocoa trees or seedlings to agricultural extension programs, botanical gardens, or university research facilities within state and local systems, monitor Harris County's ITB closely; however, the code shows no clear pattern of dedicated cocoa-tree procurement at the state and local level. Most relevant activity under this code tier involves ornamental and shade trees for public landscaping rather than tropical agricultural commodities.
