UNSPSC 10161652 Salvia splendens plant is a Commodity code that describes ornamental flowering plants procured by state and local governments for landscaping, environmental restoration, and grounds beautification projects. The recent solicitations under this code show state and local jurisdictions purchasing plants as components of larger landscape installation and ecosystem restoration contracts rather than as standalone plant supply orders. Work being solicited includes native dune plantings for coastal stabilization, landscaping and irrigation installation along roadway medians, environmental site restoration with invasive species removal and native plant installation, and general grounds plants for municipal facilities. The mix of issuing bodies spans county governments (DeKalb County Georgia, Pasco County Florida, Collier County Florida, and Pinellas County Florida) and municipal procurement (City of Dallas), with Florida counties showing particular recent activity in environmental and coastal restoration projects.

The code sees active recent procurement in Florida and Texas. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and response due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings involving approximately 56,250 native dune plants with response due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (2025–2030) with proposal due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas Informal Solicitation 215260 for general plant purchase with response due February 3, 2026. Collier County's dune restoration project and Pinellas County's five-year environmental services contract reflect a pronounced shift toward native plant installation and ecological restoration across Florida jurisdictions, while the Dallas and Pasco County procurements indicate ongoing municipal demand for ornamental plants and landscape materials.
