UNSPSC 10161823: Rhoeo plant

Herbaceous plant from the commelinaceae family. It has lanceolated and linear leaves about 30 cm long and 7 cm wide that are green on top and purple on the underside.

UNSPSC 10161823 Rhoeo plant, a Commodity code, captures state and local government procurement of ornamental plant materials for landscaping, grounds beautification, and habitat restoration work. The recent opportunities under this code show governments purchasing live plants ranging from small container specimens (4-inch pots) to larger materials (25-gallon containers) for installation in diverse settings—interior municipal spaces, roadway medians, coastal dune restoration zones, and community right-of-way beautification. Scope spans ornamental shrubs, native species, grasses, groundcovers, and specialty plants such as sea oats and dune-tolerant vegetation, with work including site preparation, planting, mulching, irrigation installation, and warranty maintenance. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County, Georgia), city governments (Fairburn, McKinney), and special-purpose districts (Pelican Bay Services Division). Most solicitations are ITBs or RFPs with responses driven by landscape aesthetics, native habitat restoration mandates, or post-storm recovery objectives.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Collier County, Florida, has posted multiple plant-material solicitations in the past several months, including an ITB for 78 line items of plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026, historical annual spend approximately $300,000) and a Quick Quote procurement for coastal dune plantings encompassing 56,250 native dune plants (due March 13, 2026). The City of Fairburn, Georgia, solicited landscape enhancement with specific shrub and groundcover species for roadway medians under IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026, mandatory site visit May 28, 2026). Monroe County, Florida, released an RFP for invasive exotic plant removal and native habitat restoration at Marathon International Airport spanning three phases with follow-up maintenance treatments through 2028 and a maximum contract value of $300,000 (proposals due July 7, 2026, mandatory pre-bid meeting June 3, 2026). The City of McKinney, Texas, issued an ITB for interior plant services at City Hall—live or commercial-grade faux plants—with bids due February 25, 2026. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options; pricing is often firm for the initial term with annual adjustment thereafter subject to county review. Insurance, licensing, E-Verify compliance, and three to five years of relevant project references are standard requirements across jurisdictions.
