UNSPSC 10161803: Philodendrons

UNSPSC 10161803 Philodendrons, a Commodity code, covers ornamental plant procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations under this code focus broadly on plant materials, landscaping, and dune restoration rather than philodendrons specifically. State and local purchasing offices solicit live plants, native species, groundcover, shrubs, and related installation services for municipal beautification, coastal restoration, and facility interior plantings. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices, city parks and facilities departments, county special services divisions, and county airport authorities. The scope spans supply-only contracts, turnkey installation with maintenance, and specialized native-plant restoration work requiring compliance with environmental regulations and site-specific protocols such as sea turtle nesting protections or aviation security.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with representative opportunities including Collier County's ITB for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026), seeking 78 line items of ornamental and native Florida plants with three-year firm pricing and approximately $300,000 in historical annual spend; the City of Fairburn's IFB for landscape enhancements on Broad Street medians (due June 16, 2026), specifying shrubs and groundcover installation with one-year plant warranty; Monroe County's RFP for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026), addressing 35 acres of forested conservation land with three-phase treatment and follow-up maintenance through 2028; Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (due March 13, 2026), a coastal dune stabilization project requiring approximately 56,250 native dune plants; and the City of McKinney's ITB for interior plants at City Hall (due February 25, 2026), offering live or commercial-grade faux plant options with monthly maintenance. A Texas cooperative purchasing vehicle, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (due July 30, 2026), shows estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years but lacks evidence of philodendron-specific procurement activity under this code.
