UNSPSC 10161807: Calahuala plant

Polypodiaceae family plant is an epiphyte by excellence, this means that it does not grow in soil. Rather, it grows on bark and branches of trees and other plants or in rocks

UNSPSC 10161807 Calahuala plant, a Commodity code, encompasses ornamental and functional plant materials that state and local governments procure for landscaping, median enhancements, and grounds maintenance on an as-needed basis. Recent solicitations under this code show municipalities and counties buying potted plants, annuals, plugs, shrubs, trees, grasses, and sod in varying container sizes for roadway beautification, park improvements, and community landscaping. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, county commissioners, and special-purpose service divisions, with work ranging from one-time landscape installations to recurring, as-required purchasing agreements. Scope typically includes specimen-quality plant materials that meet state agricultural standards, delivery within specified timeframes, and contract terms of one to three years with optional renewals. Bidders face standard requirements such as Florida nursery licensing, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million), E-Verify compliance, and proof of current business registration.

Florida and Georgia dominate recent activity. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26085KY in August 2026 for an as-needed nursery plants and products contract (plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed) with bids due July 29, 2026 and award by product group to the lowest responsive bidder. Collier County Board of County Commissioners sought bids for 78 line items of plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services under ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026), with historical annual spend around $300,000 and award on a line-item basis. The City of Fairburn, Georgia, procured landscape enhancements including decorative rock and specific shrub and groundcover plantings under IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026, with a mandatory site visit May 28, 2026). A separate Monroe County, Florida RFP (due July 7, 2026) addressed invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport—a related but operationally distinct service involving treatment and disposal rather than procurement of plant stock. The code shows consistent activity across municipalities and counties with as-required purchasing patterns and relatively modest individual contract values.
