UNSPSC 10161650: Ixora coccinea plant

This is a small shrub, part of the Rubiaceae plant family, with numerous small flowers, native to southern India and Sri Lanka. Also known as the Jungle Geranium, Flame of the Woods, Coralito, Maltese Cross and Flame of jungle

UNSPSC 10161650 Ixora coccinea plant is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single ornamental plant species, but the source's recent opportunities document landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental remediation and native plant management, and generic plant procurement — none of which are specific to Ixora coccinea or tied to this commodity code. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the breadth of actual solicitations suggests that state and local agencies are either misclassifying landscape and ecological restoration work under this code or that the code itself is not in active use for plant procurement at the jurisdiction level.

The recent opportunities span Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and Texas municipalities (Dallas), with work ranging from roadside landscaping and irrigation installation to dune stabilization using native species and multi-year environmental site management contracts. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and a response deadline of April 14, 2026; Collier County used a Quick Quote process for Pelican Bay dune planting with a March 13, 2026 deadline; Pinellas County issued an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services through 2030; and Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for generic plant purchases with a February 3, 2026 deadline. None of these solicitations reference Ixora coccinea or specify ornamental plant species; all focus on installation labor, site management, and ecosystem restoration rather than on a single plant commodity.
