UNSPSC 10161524: Ficus or fig bush

Type of shrub known as ficus bush

UNSPSC 10161524 Ficus or fig bush is a Commodity code that sees minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments do not appear to source ficus or fig bush plants as a discrete line item under this code. Of the five recent opportunities posted under this code identifier, only three involve landscaping work: Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across school facilities; the City of Arlington's RFP for annual grounds mowing and maintenance of city-owned properties; and Pasco County's IFB for median landscape and irrigation construction along Little Road. The remaining two opportunities—the City of Philadelphia's micro purchase for holiday wreaths and DeKalb County's ITB for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center—fall entirely outside the landscaping domain and represent clear code misclassifications. The landscape-focused solicitations emphasize comprehensive grounds care (mowing, trimming, edging, planting, irrigation installation) rather than procurement of ornamental vegetation as a distinct commodity.

Landscape activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas. Hillsborough County Public Schools (ITB 26246ITBMST, due August 5, 2026) and Pasco County (IFB IFBKM27004, due October 6, 2026) both solicited landscape and irrigation work, while the City of Arlington, Texas (RFP 270016, due October 1, 2026) solicited grounds maintenance. Georgia saw activity with DeKalb County's infrastructure bid. Neither the landscaping solicitations nor the code itself signal current demand for ficus or fig bush plants as a purchasable item. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors targeting ornamental plant procurement at the state and local level.
