UNSPSC 10161516: Eucalyptus tree

Type of tree known as eucalyptus tree

UNSPSC 10161516 Eucalyptus tree is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of trees for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and infrastructure projects — though recent solicitations under this code show eucalyptus trees are rarely specified by name; instead, agencies buy native species, ornamental palms, and broad mixed-species planting programs suited to regional climate zones. Recent opportunities focus on tree procurement and installation as components of larger landscape services (site preparation, planting, maintenance, warranty), with eucalyptus appearing only incidentally if at all in actual bids. Counties and municipal agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly in Florida and Georgia, with some activity in Texas, Michigan, Maryland, and Oregon. Hillsborough County (Florida) has posted multiple tree replanting and landscape maintenance solicitations; Collier County (Florida) and the City of Jacksonville (Michigan) each issued substantial tree and plant procurement notices. Cities, including Tampa, Charlotte, Salem (Oregon), and Palm Beach (Florida), have solicited tree planting and streetscape work. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00125 (tree replanting across scenic roads, one-year contract, estimated at $935,275.00, due February 27, 2026); the City of Jackson, Michigan's ENG 25-04C (approximately 200 street trees across 15 minimum species, Fall 2026 planting, bids due July 14, 2026, prevailing wage and USDA funding, Davis-Bacon Act compliance required); Collier County's ITB 26-8667 (plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services, 78 line items of ornamental plants and native Florida species, due July 8, 2026, historical spend around $300,000 annually); and the City of Charlotte's RFP 2692026243 (landscaping and tree planting across multiple city programs including neighborhood tree planting in rights-of-way and private property canopy care, due July 23, 2026).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Hillsborough, Collier, Escambia, and Pasco counties; Cities of Tampa, Palm Beach, and Jacksonville) with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County), Michigan (City of Jackson), Maryland (Baltimore metro area urban tree planting), North Carolina (Charlotte), Texas (Williamson County and State of Texas), and Oregon (City of Salem). Most opportunities are ITB or IFB notices (sealed competitive bids) with a few RFP processes for larger landscape services. Contract values range from under $50,000 for small municipal planting projects to over $900,000 for multi-year county-wide replanting programs. Prevailing wage requirements appear in federally or state-funded projects; DBE, MBE, and local-vendor preferences are applied selectively by issuing body. Plant material specifications consistently require Florida Grade #1 or equivalent standards, compliance with ANSI nursery stock standards, and one-year establishment and warranty periods. Insurance requirements are standard (commercial general liability $500,000 to $2,000,000, workers' compensation, auto liability) and E-Verify enrollment is mandated across all recent solicitations.
