UNSPSC 10161806 Aloe vera plant is a Commodity code that in practice captures a broader range of landscaping plant materials and horticultural supplies than the code name alone suggests. State and local procurement under this code centers on the acquisition of containerized ornamental plants, shrubs, trees, grasses, and related botanical materials for grounds maintenance, beautification, and ecological restoration projects. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county boards of commissioners, and special-purpose districts managing parks and public facilities. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners represent the main recent purchasers in the available record.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26085KY in August 2026 (bids due July 29, 2026) for an as-needed supply contract covering annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups, with unit volumes ranging from 30 to 2,500 units depending on category and a five-year contract term with renewal options. Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 in June 2026 (proposals due July 8, 2026) for 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, native Florida species, and sod with a historical annual spend of approximately $300,000 and three-year initial term. The City of Fairburn, Georgia, posted IFB 26-013 in May 2026 (bids due June 16, 2026) for median landscape installations including specific shrub and groundcover plantings on a lump-sum basis. Hillsborough County's ITB2600339, posted in July 2026 (bids due August 3, 2026) for $544,532.50, diverges from pure plant procurement by focusing on herbicide spraying and invasive-species control services rather than plant supply. Most state and local plant solicitations on this code operate as as-needed, when-needed supply arrangements with no guaranteed minimum quantities and award to the lowest responsive bidder, frequently with options for multiple awards by line item or product group.
