UNSPSC 10161826: Mandioc plant

A plant belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. It is native to and cultivated extensively in South America and the Pacific and is known for its starchy root of high food value. Also known as cassava, guacamota, cassava or casabe.

UNSPSC 10161826 Mandioc plant is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under it. The source contains six recent solicitations; five concern ornamental plant materials, landscape installation, and invasive plant removal services entirely unrelated to mandioc (a starchy root crop used for food production), and one concerns educational supplies. None of the opportunities actually solicit mandioc plant material or products derived from it.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. Procurement professionals evaluating this Commodity should verify whether state and local agencies are actually purchasing mandioc under this code or whether the recent opportunities represent tagging errors by the issuing bodies. The five landscape and ornamental horticulture opportunities posted between February and June 2026 across Collier County and the City of McKinney in Florida, DeKalb and Fairburn in Georgia, Monroe County in Florida, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas reflect active state and local demand for turf, shrubs, groundcover, and invasive species removal—but not for mandioc plant material.
