UNSPSC 10161652 Salvia splendens plant is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. Of three recent opportunities posted under this code, only one directly involves plant procurement: the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida's ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, which includes annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups with annual volumes ranging from six to 5,000 units depending on the category. The other two opportunities—Pasco County's median landscape and irrigation construction project and DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure rebuild—fall outside horticultural plant supply, suggesting either code-tagging misalignment or broad categorization of landscape-related work under this code at the issuing-body level.

The recent activity spans Florida and Georgia, with the Altamonte Springs ITB representing the primary horticultural procurement signal. That solicitation specifies delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 days for in-stock items, requires $1 million Commercial General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance per Florida statutory limits, and awards by product group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder with option to renew annually through October 2031. Prospective vendors must hold active Florida Sunbiz registration, current Business Tax Receipt, and pass Foreign Country of Concern and State Scrutinized List verification. The code shows limited velocity in state and local markets; absent additional recent opportunities beyond the single Altamonte Springs re-bid, pursuit should be conditioned on direct relationships with municipal parks and grounds departments or cooperative purchasing vehicles serving Florida and Georgia jurisdictions.
