UNSPSC 10161606: Purple ageratum

Genus of 40 to 60 tropical American herbs, whose fluffy flowers are purple.

UNSPSC 10161606 Purple ageratum is a Commodity code covering ornamental flowering plants used in landscape installations and maintenance. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for municipal landscaping projects, median beautification, and routine grounds maintenance at parks and public facilities. The work ranges from as-needed annual plant procurement through full landscape design and installation contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipalities, and county departments managing public spaces and infrastructure corridors.

The most recent activity centers in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida posted ITB 26085KY on August 24, 2026 (due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, encompassing annuals, plugs, trees, and grass seed across four product groups with awards by group to the lowest responsive bidder and possible multi-award to multiple contractors; the initial term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners solicited IFB IFBKM27004 on September 2, 2026 (due October 6, 2026) for landscape and irrigation construction on Little Road median Phase II spanning approximately 9 miles, including planting and site work. A third recent posting—DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for tennis center reconstruction—does not relate to purple ageratum or landscaping plant procurement and appears unrelated to the code's scope.
