UNSPSC 10161504: Apple trees

UNSPSC 10161504 Apple trees (Commodity) represents a narrow product classification that state and local governments rarely procure directly as a discrete line item. Recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity aligned with this code's strict definition of apple trees, with only one marginal reference appearing in a broader tree-procurement context. The source records instead document widespread solicitation for general tree and plant material procurement spanning ornamental palms, native species for landscaping, nursery seedlings, and landscape restoration — activities that fall outside the apple-tree commodity scope but are sometimes tagged under broader UNSPSC plant-material codes by purchasing offices unfamiliar with the taxonomy's specificity.

State and local governments sourcing under tree-related UNSPSC categories are primarily county and municipal departments of transportation, parks and recreation, and public works, with activity concentrated in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's tree replanting of scenic roads (ITB-26-00257, due May 26, 2026, estimated at $742,380), the Town of Palm Beach's furnishing and installation of palm trees on Peruvian Avenue (ITB 2026-036, due May 29, 2026), the Oregon Department of Transportation's Juntura Tree Project for removal and replacement plantings (RFCQ S-73000-00016597, due April 29, 2026), and the State of Nevada's seedling procurement for the Department of Wildlife (solicitation posted April 9, 2026, due April 29, 2026). The code itself shows little direct procurement signal; buyers seeking apple trees specifically should monitor broader landscape and horticultural UNSPSC families and verify actual commodity codes at pre-bid and in request documents, as misclassification is common in state and local procurement systems.
