UNSPSC 10161574: Papaya sapling

Sapling from the caricaceae family.

UNSPSC 10161574 Papaya sapling is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve tree species procurement and landscape installation work, but these solicitations are substantially misaligned with the code's nominal scope — they name palm trees, oak trees, maples, mulberries, and ornamental species for municipal right-of-way beautification and forest restoration, not papayas or tropical fruit saplings. The actual work being solicited includes site preparation, soil amendment, tree planting and removal, mulching, fertilization, and warranty-period maintenance across scenic roadways, park reconstructions, and utility corridors, along with stump grinding and debris disposal. These landscape and arboricultural services fall outside the papaya sapling commodity.

Issuing bodies across recent postings span county transportation departments, municipal parks and public works offices, and state natural-resource agencies, including Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the Town of Palm Beach, the City of Tampa, the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with isolated activity in Georgia and Nevada. Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00257 for tree replanting on scenic roads (due May 26, 2026, estimated at $742,380.00), the Town of Palm Beach's ITB 2026-036 for palm tree installation on Peruvian Avenue (due May 29, 2026), the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00248 for 500 native Florida trees (due April 10, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Transportation's RFCQ S-73000-00016597 for tree removal and replanting on US20 (due April 29, 2026). The code shows no documented papaya sapling solicitations in the source material.
