NIGP 59561: Plants, Indoor

NIGP 59561 Plants, Indoor is an Item code under which state and local governments procure live indoor plants and related plant maintenance services for municipal facilities, office buildings, and public spaces. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures two distinct procurement streams: the purchase of potted plants, plugs, seeds, and trees on an as-needed basis from nursery suppliers, and the contracting of ongoing plant maintenance and care services for indoor installations at city facilities. The issuing bodies include municipal governments and city procurement offices; the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida and the City of Orlando, Florida both posted solicitations under this code within the past three months.

Recent activity centers in Florida, with the City of Altamonte Springs posting ITB26085KY in August 2026 for nursery plants and products including annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees to be delivered to zip codes 32701 and 32714 on an as-needed, when-needed basis with no guaranteed purchase quantities and contract terms of one year renewable for four additional one-year terms. The City of Orlando issued RFQ24-0312 in July 2026 for interior plant maintenance services at City Hall and Amway Center, requiring monthly maintenance of approximately 80 plants including foxtail, bird-of-paradise, rhapis, aglaonema, and phoenix roebelenii varieties, with a response deadline of April 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM and a contract term of one year renewable for four additional twelve-month renewals. Both solicitations require contractors to maintain proof of active business registration, appropriate insurance coverage, and documented experience; the Altamonte Springs IFB awards by product group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder and may award to multiple contractors, while the Orlando RFQ emphasizes continuity of service and requires the same maintenance crew throughout the contract period.
