UNSPSC 10161817: Ichu plant

Plant from the poaceae family. Native to the South American Andean highlands and areas in Mexico and Guatemala. Used as forage for livestock.

UNSPSC 10161817 Ichu plant, a Commodity code, covers ornamental and tropical plant materials purchased by state and local governments for landscaping, dune restoration, and facility beautification. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying containerized plants—from small liners through 25-gallon specimens—in native and non-native varieties, with delivery and installation. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices, municipal governments, and special-purpose service divisions; Collier County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer across multiple 2026 plant-material opportunities. The code encompasses live specimen delivery with sourcing from licensed nurseries, compliance with state horticultural standards, and warranty obligations ranging from one-year plant-material guarantees to multi-year phased restoration contracts. Work spans coastal dune stabilization using native species, right-of-way and median beautification in conventional ornamental varieties, and interior facility plantings in live or high-grade artificial forms.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas. Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 for 78 line items of plants, shrubs, and sod (response due July 8, 2026) supporting the Pelican Bay Services Division beautification program, with historical annual spend near $300,000; the same county conducted a Quick Quote for 56,250 native dune plants at Bay Colony (due March 13, 2026). The City of Fairburn, Georgia solicited landscape enhancements and median improvements under IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026), and DeKalb County, Georgia issued a separate ITB for tennis-center reconstruction that nominally references the code but covers IT and low-voltage infrastructure unrelated to plant materials. Monroe County, Florida released RFP634 for invasive exotic plant removal and native habitat restoration at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026). The City of McKinney, Texas sought interior plant services—live or faux—under ITB 26-42 (due February 25, 2026). A Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational-supplies catalog bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) carries a $40.677 billion estimated value but does not map to ichu-plant procurement.
