UNSPSC 10161545: Marupa tree

Tree of the simaroubaceae family. It is found in high areas in well-drained sandy soils, in very wet forest formations. Creamy yellowish internal bark, with whitish veins, sandy texture and very sour taste from where its generic name comes from.

UNSPSC 10161545 Marupa tree, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations for Marupa trees or related tropical hardwood species; instead, the tagged opportunities encompass native tree species procurement and landscape restoration work spanning Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Maryland, Texas, and Nevada. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of these opportunities within the UNSPSC hierarchy or limited current demand for Marupa timber in state and local contracting.

The actual work being solicited under related tree-procurement codes involves furnishing native and ornamental tree species in bulk quantities—Florida native trees for city giveaway programs, royal and coconut palms for municipal streetscaping, and oak and maple species for roadway restoration—alongside planting, installation, maintenance, and landscape services. Issuing bodies include county boards (Hillsborough County, DeKalb County), municipalities (City of Tampa, Town of Palm Beach), state agencies (Oregon Department of Transportation, Nevada Department of Wildlife), and special districts (Maryland Environmental Service). Representatives include Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00257 for tree replanting across eight scenic roadways with an estimated value of $742,380.00 due May 26, 2026; the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00248 for 500 native trees due April 10, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Transportation's RFCQ S-73000-00016597 for tree removal and planting along US20 due April 29, 2026, restricted to Oregon Emerging Small Businesses. Procurement activity clusters in Florida (multiple municipal and county solicitations), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon ODOT), and scattered state-level forestry work, with no documented recent opportunities for Marupa or related tropical hardwood sourcing.
