UNSPSC 10161580: Algarrobo tree

Tree of the legume family, known as pale carob, Kiawe, Huarango, mesquite or carob.

UNSPSC 10161580 Algarrobo tree, a Commodity code, nominally designates a single tropical tree species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little engagement with algarrobo procurement itself. Instead, the code is being applied to a broader category of tree supply, planting, and landscape maintenance services that state and local jurisdictions are sourcing across multiple species and project contexts. The work solicited includes tree procurement and delivery (nursery-grade stock meeting Florida or ANSI standards), site preparation and soil amendment, installation and planting labor, establishment-phase watering and maintenance, and post-planting warranty periods. Issuing bodies span county parks and utilities departments, municipal public works and landscape divisions, state environmental and transportation agencies, and special districts. Counties and municipalities in Florida dominate recent activity—Hillsborough County, the Town of Palm Beach, and the City of Tampa all posted tree supply and installation work in April and May 2026—but Maryland and Oregon have also issued related procurements. The scope spans both large-scale landscape restoration (hundreds of trees across scenic corridors) and targeted streetscape projects (palm installations, median replanting).

Recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for tree replanting of scenic roads and miscellaneous areas (response due May 26, 2026, estimated contract value $742,380.00, requiring 120-day establishment and 12-month warranty); the Town of Palm Beach's ITB for Royal Palm and Green Malayan Coconut Palm installation on Peruvian Avenue (ITB No. 2026-036, due May 29, 2026); the City of Tampa's RFQ for 500 native Florida trees across eight species for the Mayor's Tree Giveaway (due April 10, 2026); the Oregon Department of Transportation's ESB-restricted RFCQ for tree removal and replacement plantings on US20 at Juntura (proposals due April 29, 2026); and the Maryland Environmental Service's RFP for urban tree planting in the Baltimore metro area supporting the Maryland Port Administration's Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (due July 16, 2026, with a 10% MBE participation goal). Work is concentrated in Florida, with activity also visible in Maryland, Oregon, and Nevada (seedling procurement for the Department of Wildlife, due April 29, 2026). Most recent solicitations are ITBs or RFQs awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specified quality and experience standards, with delivery and warranty obligations frequently required.
