UNSPSC 10161547 Jacaranda tree is a Commodity code representing the procurement of ornamental tree species by state and local governments for urban forestry, landscaping, and environmental restoration projects. In practice, state and local buyers use this code to solicit the supply and installation of shade trees, native species, and specialty ornamentals—often as part of broader ecosystem restoration, urban greening, and climate resilience initiatives. Recent solicitations show buyers procuring individual tree species or mixed species orders ranging from dozens to hundreds of trees, with work scopes typically bundling tree supply with site preparation, planting, establishment care, and multi-year warranty coverage. Issuing bodies include state transportation and environmental departments, county commissions, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. The mix reflects fragmented procurement authority—no single issuing body appears repeatedly, and the code sees activity across state transportation agencies (Oregon Department of Transportation), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, DeKalb County), cities (Tampa, Palm Beach), and state wildlife agencies (Nevada Department of Wildlife).

Recent activity spans the Southeast and West, with visible posting volume in Florida (Hillsborough County ITB-26-00257 for scenic road tree replanting at $742,380, May 26, 2026 response date; Town of Palm Beach ITB 2026-036 for Royal Palm and Coconut Palm installation, May 29 response date; City of Tampa RFQ 26-P-00248 for 500 native Florida trees, April 10 response date), Maryland (Maryland Environmental Service RFP for up to 800 trees supporting the Port Administration, July 16 response date), Georgia (DeKalb County reconstruction projects), and Oregon (ODOT RFCQ for tree falling, removal, and replacement along US20, April 29 response date). The Oregon procurement explicitly restricts eligibility to Emerging Small Businesses certified by COBID. The Hillsborough County contract carries a $742,380 estimated value and includes a 12-month warranty period requiring contractor replacement of dead or unhealthy plants within three weeks at no additional cost. Maryland's grant-funded effort carries an MBE participation goal of 10 percent. Most recent solicitations use ITB (Invitation to Bid), RFP, or RFQ notice types and cluster in April through July 2026.
