UNSPSC 10161526: Avocado tree

Tree that yields the fruit known as avocado

UNSPSC 10161526 Avocado tree (Commodity) encompasses the procurement, planting, and maintenance of tree species across state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitations show limited activity specifically tied to avocado varieties and instead reflect broader municipal tree acquisition and landscape restoration work. State and local governments buying under this code contract for native and non-native trees sourced at various caliper and container sizes, meeting grade standards established by state departments of agriculture, delivered to public right-of-way and park locations, with installation, soil amendment, mulching, watering, and warranty provisions typically extending 12 months post-installation. The issuing bodies include county commissions, municipalities, state transportation departments, and state wildlife agencies; Hillsborough County (Florida) and the City of Tampa appear in recent solicitations. Jurisdictions require contractors to demonstrate prior experience with landscape installation and municipal tree programs, maintain comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and comply with prevailing wage, E-Verify, and local purchasing preferences where applicable.
