UNSPSC 10161806 Aloe vera plant is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of live plants and plant materials for landscaping, grounds beautification, restoration, and interior design purposes by state and local agencies. The code appears in practice to cover a broader range of plant species than the code name suggests — recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing sea oats, dune sunflowers, shrubs, ornamental grasses, native Florida species, groundcover, and decorative plantings rather than aloe vera specifically. Counties, cities, and special-purpose districts issue most opportunities under this code, often through informal procurement vehicles (Quick Quote, ITB) for grounds maintenance and restoration work. Collier County, Florida has appeared twice in recent months as a repeat buyer, soliciting native dune plantings following hurricane damage and general plant materials for the Pelican Bay Services Division. Work scope ranges from supply-only to turnkey installation with maintenance, with contract values typically running $300,000 annually for multi-year arrangements on an as-required basis, though individual projects vary widely.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary procurement in Texas. Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services with a response date of July 8, 2026, covering 78 line items of ornamental plants and native species in various container sizes, historical annual spend of approximately $300,000, and firm pricing for three years with optional renewals; this procurement emphasizes sourcing from Florida-licensed nurseries and delivery FOB destination to a single location. Collier County also posted a Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (due March 13, 2026) for approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet following 2024 hurricane damage, with hourly labor rates and line-item plant pricing. The City of Fairburn, Georgia issued IFB 26-013 Landscape Enhancements for four roadway medians (due June 16, 2026) with specific shrub species, groundcover, and decorative rock on a lump-sum basis. Monroe County, Florida solicited invasive exotic plant removal and native restoration services at Marathon International Airport (RFP634, due July 7, 2026) with compensation based on hourly crew rates and a maximum contract value of $300,000.
