UNSPSC 10161813: Diverse agave plant

Ornamental plant of the agavaceae family. Notable for its dark green leaves with cranberry and yellowish borders.

UNSPSC 10161813 Diverse agave plant is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a single botanical input, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little direct relevance to agave procurement. The opportunities posted under this code span landscaping plant materials (plugs, potted plants, trees, shrubs, grasses, and groundcover), herbicide application and invasive species management, and educational supplies—none of which center on agave species. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently across miscellaneous plant and vegetation-related work, suggesting either loose taxonomy mapping in state procurement systems or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and its actual use in practice. State and local issuers (Florida cities and counties, Georgia municipalities, and Texas education cooperatives) are actively sourcing these broader categories of plant materials and vegetation control on an as-needed basis, but agave-specific procurement does not surface in the recent opportunities block.

The most active recent solicitations include the City of Altamonte Springs (ITB 26-085-KY, landscaping plants and trees due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County (ITB2600339, herbicide spraying and invasive species control at $544,532.50 estimated value, due August 3, 2026), and Collier County (ITB 26-8667, plants and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services, approximately $300,000 historical annual spend, due July 8, 2026)—all in Florida. Monroe County, Florida posted an RFP for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026, maximum contract value $300,000), and the City of Fairburn, Georgia solicited landscape enhancements and median improvements (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with supporting activity in Texas through Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational supplies catalog discount bid. This code shows limited, misdirected recent activity; pursuit of opportunities under it should verify the actual scope before bid preparation, as the code designation does not reliably predict the work being bought.
