UNSPSC 10161585 Ponciana tree is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement for native and ornamental tree specimens for municipal and county landscape projects, particularly for public right-of-way improvements, park restoration, and environmental remediation initiatives. State and local governments buy trees under this code through a mix of delivery and installation services, site preparation, mulching, fertilization, watering, and ongoing maintenance — often bundled as landscape installation contracts. The issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, regional environmental agencies, and state departments of transportation and natural resources. Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, and the Town of Palm Beach in Florida; the Maryland Environmental Service on behalf of the Port Administration; the Oregon Department of Transportation; and the State of Nevada Purchasing Division on behalf of the Department of Wildlife all solicited under or closely related to this code in recent months.
