UNSPSC 10161563: Aroma tree

Mimosaceae family tree, usually known as aroma or huisache. It has multiple stems characterized by a expanded and dense crown, thorny branches and fragrant flowers.

UNSPSC 10161563 Aroma tree, a Commodity code, does not map to substantive state and local procurement activity based on recent solicitation records. The code nominally names a single product line — aromatic trees — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve broad tree procurement and planting services that span ornamental and utility species far beyond aroma-focused inventory. Harris County's ITB for "Supply of Various Trees and Related Items" (due September 28, 2026) and the City of Fitchburg's 2026 Fall Tree Planting project (due August 25, 2026) both encompass mixed species including maples, oaks, lindens, elms, and conifers with no emphasis on aromatic varieties. The Hillsborough County tree replanting ITB (due May 26, 2026, estimated $742,380.00) and the Town of Palm Beach's palm tree installation bid (due May 29, 2026) similarly treat trees as landscape and infrastructure elements rather than as specialty aroma products. A single opportunity — the Maryland Environmental Service RFP for urban tree planting in the Baltimore metro area (due July 16, 2026) — is framed as procurement and maintenance of up to 800 trees without species specification. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the scope of work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that aroma trees do not constitute a distinct procurement line in state and local practice.

Solicitations under this code originate from counties (Harris County, Hillsborough County, DeKalb County, Dallas County), municipalities (City of Fitchburg, City of Arlington, Town of Palm Beach), and state environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service), with activity concentrated in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Maryland as of mid-2026. Tree procurement and installation appears primarily in park, streetscape, and grounds-maintenance contexts rather than as a specialty commercial product. The broader category of ornamental tree supply and planting services — which this code appears to encompass in practice — remains active across state and local jurisdictions, but the code does not signal demand specific to aroma-tree sourcing or cultivation.
