UNSPSC 10161578: Chirimoya tree

A tree that belongs to the Annonaceae family. Its fruit is called custard apple or cherimoya and is edible. It grows in dry climates.

UNSPSC 10161578 Chirimoya tree is a Commodity code covering the supply and installation of trees for state and local government landscaping, streetscape, parks, and rights-of-way projects. Recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy not only chirimoya but a broad range of tree species—including oaks, maples, palms, dogwoods, and conifers—furnished as bare-root or containerized seedlings, caliper stock (typically 1–2 inches), or larger specimen plants. Procurement spans furnishing, delivery, site preparation, planting, establishment-period maintenance (often one year post-installation with free replacement of dead material), and warranty periods extending 12–24 months. The mix of issuing bodies includes cities (Jackson, Arlington, Charlotte, Savannah, DeBary, Fitchburg, Santa Fe, Palm Beach), counties (Hillsborough, Collier, Harris, Williamson, DeKalb, Gwinnett), state natural resources departments (Michigan DNR), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and special-purpose transit and parks authorities (Dallas Park and Recreation, Santa Fe Regional Airport). Florida cities and counties dominate recent posting volume, followed by Michigan state agencies and Texas municipalities. Evaluation typically employs a mix of weighted criteria—price (often 20–30 percent), experience and qualifications (20–30 percent), project management and timeline (10–20 percent), and corporate accountability or workforce development (10–25 percent on some contracts)—with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope and issuing-body diversity. The City of Jackson, Michigan issued RFP 2026ENGINEERING038 (rebid as ENG 25-04C, response due September 30, 2026) seeking furnishing, delivery, planting, maintenance, and one-year establishment-period care for approximately 200 street trees across 15 species, with unit pricing for both 1- and 2-inch caliper trees per 37 approved species, USDA grant funding, Davis-Bacon Act compliance, and liquidated damages for completion delay. Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB 26-00257 (bids due May 26, 2026) for tree replanting across eight scenic roadways totaling approximately 34,984 linear feet of median areas, with a contract estimate of $742,380.00, six-month establishment maintenance, and 12-month warranty. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources awarded a five-year containerized seedlings contract to PRT USA, INC (RFP 260000002354, recommended award $6.25 million) covering high- and low-volume conifer and hardwood seedlings delivered to four field offices with spring 2028 first delivery. The City of Savannah issued two local-vendor-only solicitations restricted to businesses holding a Business Tax Certificate at least 12 months prior: Victory Drive tree pruning and maintenance (Event 12366, bids due September 1, 2026) and Daffin Park tree preservation (Event 12398, bids due September 15, 2026). Geographic concentration spans Florida (Collier, Hillsborough, Orange, and Savannah-area counties and cities), Michigan (state DNR and Jackson), Georgia (DeKalb County, Gwinnett County), Texas (Dallas, Arlington, Williamson County), and scattered activity in Wisconsin, Maryland, and New Mexico. Bond requirements (typically 5 percent bid bond, 100 percent performance and payment bonds for awards exceeding $50,000–$200,000), insurance minimums ($500,000–$2 million per-occurrence general liability), and prevailing wage compliance (particularly on USDA- or federal-funded projects) are standard cost drivers.
