UNSPSC 10161654: Espada amazonica plant

Aquatic plant native to the Amazon. It is grown for freshwater aquariums.

UNSPSC 10161654 Espada amazonica plant is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The posted opportunities—IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center rebuild, roadway landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental wetland and stormwater management, and general plant procurement—cover landscaping, native species restoration, and horticultural supply but do not reference Espada amazonica or any exotic tropical species by name. The code's nominal scope (a specific Amazon basin plant) appears disconnected from the actual purchasing activity, which centers on native plants for ecological restoration, dune stabilization, irrigation systems, and generic plant supply for municipal facilities.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a major city (Dallas, Texas). Recent opportunities range from dune plantings following hurricane damage (Collier County Quick Quote, March 2026) and five-year environmental monitoring and native plant management contracts (Pinellas County RFP, due July 2025) to commodity-level plant purchases (City of Dallas IFS, due February 2026) and roadway landscaping with irrigation (Pasco County IFB, due April 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, with secondary activity in Texas and Georgia. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated commodity name; procurement professionals should verify whether this code assignment reflects a data-entry error or whether state and local systems are using it as a catch-all for horticultural goods outside its botanical scope.
