UNSPSC 10161605: Cactus plants

UNSPSC 10161605 Cactus plants is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses landscaping and native plant installation services tied to environmental restoration, coastal dune stabilization, and site beautification projects rather than cactus procurement alone. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily county governments and municipalities in Florida, with representative buyers including Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, and the City of Dallas. Work being solicited includes supply and installation of native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) for coastal restoration; comprehensive environmental planting and maintenance services involving invasive species removal, native plant installation, and wetland monitoring; landscaping and irrigation system installation along public rights-of-way; and general plant procurement for municipal operations. Notice types include ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal solicitation formats, with response dates ranging from same-day quick quotes to firm deadlines weeks out.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Florida, particularly in coastal and environmental-restoration contexts. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road extending 2.95 miles from Broad Street to Moon Lake Road, with bids due April 14, 2026, at a total contract value not to exceed $120,000. Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project in March 2026, comprising supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune following 2024 tropical damage. Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning 2025–2030, covering invasive and exotic plant removal and native plant installation at mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater facilities, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for general plant purchase with a response deadline of February 3, 2026. Coastal and environmental restoration dominates the active pipeline; municipal general-purpose plant procurement appears less frequent in recent postings.
