UNSPSC 10161515: Cypress tree

Type of tree known as cypress tree

UNSPSC 10161515 Cypress tree is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of tree stock for street tree planting, park and recreation landscaping, urban forest restoration, and median/right-of-way beautification. Recent solicitations show municipalities, counties, state natural resources departments, and special districts purchasing trees as furnishings—often bundled with installation, planting services, establishment-period maintenance, and one-year warranties—rather than as standalone nursery products. Work spans furnishing bare-root or containerized seedlings at scale (containerized conifer and hardwood seedlings at 2,000,000+ units annually for state forestry), native tree seed collection and processing for habitat restoration, and street-tree and ornamental palm installations in urban environments. Issuing bodies include state departments of natural resources (Michigan), city parks and recreation departments (Jackson, Dallas, Charlotte, Santa Fe, DeBary, Fitchburg), county commissions and park authorities (Harris County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, DeKalb County), and municipal procurement offices (Savannah, Palm Beach, Ocala, Arlington). State natural resources agencies appear as repeat buyers for multi-year nursery supply contracts; municipal parks departments solicit street tree planting annually or seasonally.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Michigan Department of Natural Resources has posted multiple RFPs for containerized seedlings and native tree seed collection (July–August 2026) at scale, with five-year terms and volumes exceeding 2 million units annually. Florida municipalities dominate recent opportunities: Collier County and Hillsborough County have solicited tree and palm supply and installation (June–September 2026); the City of DeBary, Town of Palm Beach, and City of Ocala have issued ITBs or RFPs for street trees, ornamental palms, and park tree preservation (April–September 2026). Michigan cities—Jackson and Fitchburg—have rebid and posted Fall 2026 street-tree planting projects with USDA or state funding, Davis-Bacon compliance, and prevailing wage. Representative current solicitations include the City of Jackson, Michigan RFP ENG 25-04C (rebid, due September 30, 2026, 200 street trees, 15+ species, spring 2027 planting, USDA-funded), Collier County Quick Quote QQ2026148 (due September 28, 2026, ornamental trees and palms for Pelican Bay), Hillsborough County ITB 26-00257 (tree replanting on scenic roads, estimated $742,380, due May 26, 2026), and Michigan DNR RFP 260000002354 (containerized seedlings and services, five-year term, $6.25 million, awarded to PRT USA, INC). Set-asides and preferences vary: City of Savannah restricts Victory Drive and Daffin Park tree work to local vendors with twelve-month-prior Business Tax Certificates; Michigan DNR applies Geographically Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements when subcontractors exceed 20% of deliverables; Maryland Environmental Service targets 10% MBE participation; and Texas ESBD set-asides apply to select projects.
