UNSPSC 10161537 Royal poinciana tree is a Commodity code covering the procurement and installation of royal poinciana trees (Roystonea regia) for state and local government landscaping, site development, and public amenity projects. Recent opportunities show limited direct solicitation under this code; the one concrete example identifies the Town of Palm Beach, Florida ITB No. 2026-036 requesting furnishing and installation of approximately eleven royal palm trees with 25 feet of clear trunk at Florida No. 1 grade or equivalent standards for the 400 block of Peruvian Avenue right-of-way, with bids due May 29, 2026. The broader tree procurement and planting activity visible in recent state and local opportunities spans general tree species procurement and installation across county and municipal jurisdictions, with issuing bodies including Harris County (Texas), the City of Arlington (Texas), the City of Fitchburg (Wisconsin), the Maryland Environmental Service, Hillsborough County (Florida), and the Town of Palm Beach (Florida). These opportunities typically bundle tree supply with site preparation, planting labor, mulching, soil amendment, watering, maintenance through establishment or warranty periods, and sometimes pest management and protection services.

Activity clusters in Florida and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Maryland. The most recent opportunities show a mix of notice types—ITBs dominate for tree supply and planting work (Harris County ITB 26/0241 for various trees due September 28, 2026; Hillsborough County ITB 26-00257 for tree replanting across scenic roads at $742,380.00 due May 26, 2026; Town of Palm Beach ITB 2026-036 due May 29, 2026)—and RFPs for larger programs (City of Arlington RFP for grounds maintenance including mowing and litter removal due October 1, 2026; City of Fitchburg competitive sealed bid for 2026 Fall Tree Planting due August 25, 2026; Maryland Environmental Service RFP for up to 800 trees with an MBE participation goal of 10% due July 16, 2026). Most tree-supply contracts require one-year survival warranties, compliance with ANSI Z60.1 standards, comprehensive insurance, performance bonds equal to 100% of contract value, and demonstrated prior experience with municipal or commercial landscape installation. The code shows active procurement cycles in spring and fall planting seasons but represents a narrow segment within broader landscape and grounds-maintenance spending.
