UNSPSC 10161525: Eggfruit tree

Tree that yields the fruit known as eggfruit

UNSPSC 10161525 Eggfruit tree is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a specific tropical fruit tree species, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The recent opportunities block contains seven procurement records, of which only two—tree replanting and tree supply projects in Florida and a tree management initiative in Oregon—involve tree procurement or planting work. The remaining five records address wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation (Dallas County), IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County), urban tree planting for climate mitigation (Maryland Environmental Service), and native tree seedling procurement (Nevada Department of Wildlife). The Maryland Environmental Service RFP for urban tree planting in the Baltimore metro area (Solicitation 1265278, due July 16, 2026) and the Hillsborough County ITB for tree replanting across eight scenic roadways (ITB-26-00257, due May 26, 2026) represent the most relevant activity, both addressing landscape restoration and tree establishment services. Issuing bodies include state environmental and transportation agencies (Maryland Environmental Service, Oregon Department of Transportation, Nevada Department of Wildlife), county governments (Hillsborough County, Dallas County, DeKalb County), municipalities (Town of Palm Beach, City of Tampa), and county transportation or infrastructure departments. The code shows little evidence of a consistent commodity definition or category alignment.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and includes isolated procurement in Maryland, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Nevada. The Florida projects—Hillsborough County's $742,380 tree replanting contract, the Town of Palm Beach's palm tree installation ITB (ITB No. 2026-036, due May 29, 2026), and the City of Tampa's Mayor's Tree Giveaway RFQ for 500 native trees (26-P-00248, due April 10, 2026)—account for three of the seven records. The Maryland Environmental Service RFP for up to 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area, funded by a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant and carrying a 10 percent MBE participation goal, reflects recent federal-to-state climate funding momentum. The code's recent activity does not support a clear, coherent procurement category for business development purposes; the mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope (eggfruit trees) and the actual work being solicited (landscape restoration, urban tree planting, infrastructure rehabilitation, and seedling procurement) suggests that issuers are applying the code inconsistently or that the code itself is not suited to the work state and local buyers are conducting in this domain.
