A plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. It is a plant of warm or temperate climates and is very sensitive to cold. It needs a period of warm growth in order to produce a good harvest and optimal flavor.

UNSPSC 10161657 Aubergine plant is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of nursery stock and landscape plant materials for public works and grounds maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code tag for mixed plantings in landscape construction, maintenance-and-supply contracts, and grounds improvement projects. The issuing bodies are typically county and city procurement offices managing public grounds, parks, and median plantings; the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida appear in recent notices.

The code shows activity concentrated in Florida, based on the two recent opportunities: Pasco County's IFB for median landscape and irrigation construction on Little Road (bids due October 6, 2026) and the City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, commencing October 1, 2026 with renewal options through five years. The Altamonte Springs solicitation is more representative of typical catalog-driven plant purchasing — the city is seeking annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups, with bidders offering percentage-off discounts from published prices plus delivery fees, requiring Commercial General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Florida registration and compliance documentation. A third posting, DeKalb County's reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center, appears mistagged under this code and does not reflect plant procurement. The geographic spread is limited; no recent opportunities appear outside Florida in the available records.
