UNSPSC 10161626 Gardenia plant is a Commodity code that covers ornamental shrubs and trees for landscape procurement, though state and local governments soliciting under this code buy a broader range of nursery stock and landscaping materials on an as-needed basis. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida and Pasco County Board of County Commissioners represent the kinds of issuing bodies active under the code — municipal governments and county departments managing public grounds, parks, and transportation corridors. Scope of work spans landscape design, planting, irrigation system installation, and ongoing supplies of containerized plants, plugs, annuals, trees, and grass seeds for median maintenance, park rehabilitation, and grounds beautification projects. Bidders typically submit as percentage-discount pricing off published catalog prices plus delivery fees, with contracts structured to allow procurement of multiple product groups and award to the lowest-cost responsive bidder.
