UNSPSC 10161812: Dumbcane plant

Plant of the araceae family, notable for its characteristic clear spots on their leaves.

UNSPSC 10161812 Dumbcane plant is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental potted plants and foliage species for landscaping and grounds-maintenance use by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show municipalities and counties purchasing dumbcane and related potted plants as part of broader landscaping supply contracts on an as-needed, when-needed basis. The buying mix spans city procurement offices, county boards of commissioners, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles; issuing bodies treat dumbcane as one item within larger plant-material or landscape-services RFPs and ITBs rather than as a standalone commodity. Scope includes unit pricing for potted ornamental plants in standardized container sizes (typically 3-gallon, 4-inch, and larger), with delivery FOB to municipal or county facilities within defined timeframes and strict compliance with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services nursery-licensing and plant-health standards. Bidders typically must hold current Florida business registration and licensing, carry commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence depending on issuing body), and provide proof of E-Verify enrollment and conflict-of-interest certifications.
