UNSPSC 10161660: Gloxinia plant

Plant from the Gesneriaceae family. There are about 65 species of tuberous perennial herbaceous plants, all from Central and South America, with the highest concentration in southern Brazil.

UNSPSC 10161660 Gloxinia plant is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code is meant to classify gloxinia plants specifically, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly request landscape installation, dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and general plant procurement—none centered on gloxinia as a distinct commodity. The City of Dallas issued an IFS for general plant purchase in January 2026 with a February 3 response date, and Pinellas County released an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services covering five years (2025–2030) due July 29, 2025, but neither specifies gloxinia. Issuing bodies across recent opportunities include county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County) and municipalities (City of Dallas), with work spanning landscape and irrigation installation, coastal dune stabilization using native species, and wetland and environmental restoration services rather than ornamental plant procurement.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and Georgia (DeKalb County) with one Texas municipal solicitation. Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, encompasses 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) with a $120,000 contract cap. Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, due March 13, 2026, specified approximately 56,250 native dune plants as 2-inch liners across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune, following 2024 hurricane damage. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center, due July 13, 2026, focused on IT and low voltage infrastructure rather than landscape or horticulture. The code shows little relevant recent activity for ornamental plant procurement and appears misapplied to landscape installation and environmental restoration work; firms pursuing this code should expect solicitations concentrated in landscape and native plant installation rather than specialty ornamental nursery stock.
