UNSPSC 10161609: African rose plant

Flower plant known as african rose

UNSPSC 10161609 African rose plant (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local activity directly aligned with the code's narrow product scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code actually span IT infrastructure reconstruction, roadway landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental site management with invasive species removal and native plant installation, and general plant procurement—none of which center on African roses as a named commodity or primary deliverable. The code appears to be a catch-all tag for plant-related work rather than a precise botanical identifier, and state and local governments are not actively soliciting African roses specifically in the current market.

The four recent opportunities posted under 10161609 originate from Florida county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County), the City of Dallas, and DeKalb County, Georgia, spanning February through July 2026. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and April 14, 2026 response deadline; Collier County used a Quick Quote process for Pelican Bay coastal dune plantings requiring native species (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) with a March 13, 2026 deadline; Pinellas County posted an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetlands and stormwater sites with a July 29, 2025 deadline; and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plant purchase with a February 3, 2026 deadline. The code shows no meaningful concentration in geographic region or issuing-body type, and the actual work being bought—landscape installation, native ecosystem restoration, and general plant supply—diverges substantially from African rose procurement. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete in general horticultural and ecological restoration work rather than specialty floriculture.
