UNSPSC 10151931: Duranta repens plant

The Duranta repens, better known as Flor Celeste, is an evergreen shrub that grows to a maximum height of four meters, but can be pruned without problems towards the end of winter to achieve a more compact and / or smaller plant.

UNSPSC 10151931 Duranta repens plant is a Commodity code representing ornamental shrub plant materials that state and local governments procure for landscaping, habitat restoration, and environmental enhancement projects. The recent opportunities show minimal direct relevance to this specific species; instead, state and local buyers are acquiring native plants, trees, shrubs, and sod through competitive solicitations for broad landscape installations, transit shelters, municipal parks, coastal restoration, and roadway improvements. Collier County, Florida issued an ITB on July 16, 2026, for transit-shelter amenities including various plant and landscaping supplies (ITB 25-8571, due August 17, 2026), while the City of Norwalk, Connecticut requested proposals for tree and shrub supply and planting (RFP, due August 4, 2026). The City of Milpitas, California's IFB for maintenance supplies encompasses park and landscaping maintenance materials including plants (IFB 26-229, due July 23, 2026). Clean Water Services in Oregon is soliciting a three-year growing contract for native plant material to support watershed enhancement (RFP, due July 17, 2026). Collier County also posted an ITB for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026), historically spending approximately $300,000 annually. The code shows activity across Florida, Oregon, California, and Connecticut, with county departments, municipal governments, transit authorities, and special water districts all purchasing plant materials on competitive, as-required bases with three- to five-year contract terms.

The opportunities do not reveal solicitations specifically for Duranta repens by name or scientific designation; procurement language references "native plants," "ornamental shrubs," "landscape supplies," and "plant materials" in broader scope. Award decisions typically favor lowest-responsive-and-responsible bidders across line items, with historical annual spending in the $300,000 to $400,000 range for multi-species plant procurement. Licensing, insurance, E-Verify enrollment, and compliance with Florida Department of Agriculture standards or equivalent state nursery-plant grading requirements are consistent across issuing bodies. Collier County applies local-vendor preferences on several plant solicitations; most other jurisdictions do not. Performance bonds and payment bonds are required for contracts exceeding $200,000. If pursuing this code, monitor Collier County, City of Milpitas, Clean Water Services, and other western and southeastern municipal procurement offices for rolling landscape and native-plant RFQs and ITBs, which tend to cluster in spring and summer months and often allow unit-price bidding across multiple plant species, creating opportunities to position Duranta repens within a diversified plant-material catalog rather than as a standalone product line.
