UNSPSC 10161538: Papelillo or copal blanco or bursera odorata tree

Tree from the bursera family and genus. Genus considered as succulent for its capacity to store liquid in trunk and branches

UNSPSC 10161538 Papelillo or copal blanco or bursera odorata tree is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific tropical tree species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal actual solicitation for that particular species. The code appears to serve as a catch-all tag for tree procurement and landscape restoration work more broadly, encompassing the supply, planting, and maintenance of native and ornamental tree species across municipal and county jurisdictions. State and local governments are using this code to solicit tree procurement for urban reforestation programs, scenic-corridor restoration, municipal landscaping, and tree-replacement initiatives. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Tampa, Palm Beach), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, DeKalb County, Dallas County), state transportation and environmental departments (Oregon Department of Transportation, Nevada Department of Wildlife), and specialized authorities such as the Maryland Environmental Service. The work typically bundles tree supply with site preparation, planting labor, mulching, watering, fertilization, and post-installation warranty or establishment periods ranging from six months to one year.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida, Oregon, Maryland, and Nevada. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00257 on April 29, 2026 (due May 26, 2026) for tree replanting across eight scenic roadways in unincorporated Hillsborough County, estimated at $742,380.00 for a one-year period. The Town of Palm Beach issued ITB No. 2026-036 (due May 29, 2026) for furnishing and installing approximately eleven Royal Palm trees and five Green Malayan Coconut Palm trees along Peruvian Avenue. The City of Tampa solicited 500 native Florida trees via RFQ 26-P-00248 (due April 10, 2026) for delivery April 17, 2026, specifying eight species in 3-gallon or larger containers. The Oregon Department of Transportation posted RFCQ S-73000-00016597 (due April 29, 2026) for tree removal and replacement along US20 near Juntura, restricted to Emerging Small Business (ESB) certified contractors. The Maryland Environmental Service issued RFP 1265278 (due July 16, 2026) for procurement, planting, and maintenance of up to 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area under a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant, with a 10 percent MBE participation goal. The Nevada Department of Wildlife solicited seedlings through the Nevada Purchasing Division (due April 29, 2026) via the NevadaEPro platform.
