UNSPSC 10161577: Hibiscus tiliaceus

An evergreen bush or small tree that reaches 4-5 m in height cultivation. It belongs to the Malvaceae family, native to the Old World tropics. Common names: Sea Hibiscus, Beach Hibiscus, Green Cottonwood, Native Hibiscus, Native Rosella, Kurrajong, Sea Rosemallow, Norfolk Hibiscus, Hau and Purau.

UNSPSC 10161577 Hibiscus tiliaceus, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity aligned with the nominal scope of procurement for this specific ornamental plant species. The two most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve urban tree planting and IT infrastructure installation — work substantially unrelated to procurement of hibiscus tiliaceus as a specified plant commodity. The Maryland Environmental Service RFP (Solicitation 1265278) seeks procurement, planting, and maintenance of up to 800 trees in the Baltimore metro area with an MBE participation goal of 10%, but does not specify hibiscus tiliaceus or any particular species. The DeKalb County ITB (2026-076-ITB) concerns IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure for tennis center reconstruction in Decatur, Georgia, and is entirely unrelated to plant procurement.

The geographic presence recorded for this code includes Maryland and Georgia based on the recent opportunities, though the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either incorrect coding by the issuing bodies or minimal practical activity in hibiscus tiliaceus procurement at the state and local level. The Maryland Environmental Service RFP has a response deadline of July 16, 2026, and the DeKalb County ITB closes July 13, 2026. No additional representative opportunities or issuing-body patterns emerge from the available record. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement decision-making purposes absent evidence of actual hibiscus tiliaceus solicitations.
