UNSPSC 10161609: African rose plant

Flower plant known as african rose

UNSPSC 10161609 African rose plant is a Commodity code that captures ornamental plants and flowers state and local governments procure for landscaping, parks, and grounds maintenance. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show limited direct alignment with African roses specifically; instead, they reflect broader nursery plant and landscaping procurement. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued an ITB for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, covering annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups with award by group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder and contract term through October 1, 2026 for one year with four one-year renewal options. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners solicited bids for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along Little Road, which includes planting and site work. The DeKalb County opportunity tagged to this code—reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center with IT and low-voltage infrastructure—is unrelated to plant procurement and appears to be a miscoding. State and local issuing bodies under this code include municipal procurement divisions and county boards of commissioners managing parks, medians, and grounds maintenance budgets.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with the two relevant landscaping opportunities in Altamonte Springs and Pasco County (Florida) and the misaligned infrastructure project in DeKalb County (Georgia). The City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26085KY, posted August 24, 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026, specified four product groups (plugs at 4,200 units annually, 30-gallon trees at six units, three-gallon plants ranging 30 to 2,500 units, and grass seed at 30 units) with bidders required to provide catalog discounts, delivery within 15 to 30 days to zip codes 32701 and 32714, and proof of Florida Sunbiz registration and E-Verify compliance. Pasco County's IFB IFBKM27004, posted September 2, 2026 with bids due October 6, 2026, addressed approximately 9 miles of median landscape design and irrigation along Little Road. Code activity is sparse and shows limited demand for African roses specifically, with broader ornamental plant procurement dominating recent solicitations.
