UNSPSC 10161607: Acalypha picta plant

Flower plant known as acalipha picta

UNSPSC 10161607 Acalypia picta plant is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but the five recent opportunities posted under it span landscaping and irrigation installation (Ridge Road median and right-of-way work in Pasco County), coastal dune stabilization with native plant installation (Pelican Bay in Collier County), multi-year environmental restoration and invasive species management services (Pinellas County), IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a recreation facility (DeKalb County, Georgia), and a general plant purchase tender from the City of Dallas — none of which centers on the acquisition of Acalypha picta as a distinct product line. The mismatch between the code's narrow botanical scope and the actual solicitations suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all for plant-related procurements.

The geographic concentration is entirely within Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties) and one Texas municipality (Dallas) for the plant purchase, with a single outlier in Georgia for an unrelated infrastructure project. The issuing bodies are county governments and a city procurement office, with no state-level departments or special-purpose districts represented. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a $120,000 contract cap), Collier County's quick-quote dune planting project (due March 13, 2026, with no stated budget), Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025, structured as as-needed labor rates with SBE thresholds), and the City of Dallas plant purchase IFB (due February 3, 2026, lowest responsive vendor award). The code's utility for business development purposes is limited unless targeting post-award maintenance or ecosystem restoration services tied to completed landscaping installations.
