UNSPSC 10161611: Aglaonema plant

Flowering plant from the araceae family. Flowers are white or greenish white spadixes that may produce red berries.

UNSPSC 10161611 Aglaonema plant, a Commodity code, shows significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code identifies aglaonema—commonly known as Chinese evergreen, an ornamental tropical foliage houseplant—yet the five most recent opportunities posted under this code encompass IT and low voltage infrastructure reconstruction, roadway landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration using native plant species, environmental wetland and stormwater site management, and general plant procurement for municipal use. Only the Dallas plant purchase aligns with the code's face-value scope as an indoor ornamental species purchase; the remaining four opportunities involve native species installation, ecosystem restoration, and infrastructure projects that fall outside aglaonema supply and distribution. This divergence indicates the code sees limited relevant recent activity for aglaonema-specific procurement.

The issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts across Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with activity concentrated in coastal and environmental management projects rather than plant material supply. Recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation systems along Ridge Road due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote for dune planting supply and installation due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting and monitoring services due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases due February 3, 2026. The code shows no concentrated repeat buyer or geographic cluster aligned with aglaonema procurement, and the diversity of opportunity types—from infrastructure to coastal restoration to general plant supply—suggests the code is being misapplied across multiple unrelated plant and vegetation categories rather than capturing discrete aglaonema transactions.
