UNSPSC 10161564: Araucaria tree

From the araucariaceae family. Coniferous tree that may reach a height of 70 m, although in cultivation it usually does not reach these heights. It can be placed in a pot and be cultivated indoors as a small tree

UNSPSC 10161564 Araucaria tree (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow botanical designation does not match the kinds of tree and landscape work actually being solicited. Recent opportunities under this code tag include a Harris County ITB for supply of various trees and related items (posted September 4, 2026, due September 28, 2026), but the source provides no scope detail beyond the title. The remaining opportunities in the recent-activity block are unrelated to araucaria procurement: they encompass broad-spectrum tree planting projects (fall tree planting in Fitchburg, Wisconsin; urban tree planting for the Maryland Port Administration; tree replanting of scenic roads in Hillsborough County, Florida), specialized palm-tree installation (Royal and Coconut palms in Palm Beach, Florida), and municipal infrastructure work unrelated to forestry (DeKalb County tennis center reconstruction and Dallas County wastewater pipeline rehabilitation). None of these solicitations name araucaria as a specified or included species.

The code sees activity from county governments, cities, and special-purpose districts across the Southeast and Midwest, but the botanical specificity of UNSPSC 10161564 does not appear to reflect actual demand. State and local procurement offices are buying tree-supply and tree-planting services at the family or class level—acquiring mixed species inventories, furnishing labor and materials for installation, and contracting ongoing maintenance—not procurement tagged to individual tree species. Araucaria does not appear in any of the recent solicitation descriptions. Unless your firm specializes in araucaria supply to public-sector landscaping programs, this code is unlikely to be a reliable indicator of procurement opportunity; activity under broader tree-supply and tree-planting codes (which the source does not provide) would be more relevant to monitor.
