UNSPSC 10161808: Climbing ivy plant

Climbing and creeping plant, persistent leaves, Araliaceae family.

UNSPSC 10161808 Climbing ivy plant is a Commodity code that in practice covers a broad range of ornamental and landscape plant materials—annuals, potted plants, plugs, shrubs, trees, grasses, native species, and sod—that state and local governments purchase for beautification, erosion control, invasive species management, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations show the code functioning as a catch-all for general nursery stock procurement rather than climbing ivy specifically. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (City of Altamonte Springs, Florida), county commissions (Hillsborough County and Collier County in Florida; DeKalb County and City of Fairburn in Georgia; Monroe County in Florida), and independent park or airport authorities. Most activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, where municipalities and counties issue as-needed or scheduled plant procurement contracts on a competitive bid basis, typically bundling multiple product categories or species into single solicitations.

Recent representative opportunities span landscape enhancement, invasive species removal, and general plant stock replenishment. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB26085KY (posted August 24, 2026; due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products including plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed quantities, with the contract commencing October 1, 2026 for an initial one-year term renewable for four additional years. Collier County posted ITB 26-8667 (posted June 18, 2026; due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division encompassing 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and sod with approximately $300,000 in historical annual expenditures. The City of Fairburn, Georgia, issued IFB 26-013 (posted May 21, 2026; due June 16, 2026) for landscape enhancements including decorative rock, shrubs, and groundcover within roadway medians. Monroe County issued RFP634 (posted May 21, 2026; due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport spanning identification, treatment, and disposal across three phases and three follow-up maintenance treatments, with a maximum contract value of $300,000. Standard procurement requirements include proof of Florida licensing where applicable, Commercial General Liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000, E-Verify compliance, W-9 submission, and compliance with state prohibited-vendor lists.
