UNSPSC 10161827 Oregano plant is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses ornamental plants, shrubs, groundcovers, and native species for landscape beautification and dune restoration projects rather than culinary or medicinal oregano. State and local governments procure plant material through this code primarily for public-space landscaping, median improvements, coastal habitat restoration, and municipal facility interior plantings. Issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County, Monroe County in Florida; DeKalb County in Georgia), cities (City of Fairburn, Georgia; City of McKinney, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Recent opportunities show strong activity from Florida and Georgia jurisdictions pursuing landscape enhancements and environmental restoration alongside general educational-supplies procurement through cooperatives that may incidentally capture plant material.

Collier County, Florida has emerged as a repeat buyer under this code, having posted two separate solicitations in the past four months: ITB 26-8667 for Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026, unit pricing for 78 line items of ornamental and native plants with historical annual expenditures near $300,000) and an earlier Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune species for coastal restoration). Monroe County, Florida solicited invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport via RFP 634 (proposals due July 7, 2026, maximum contract value $300,000). The City of Fairburn, Georgia issued IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements in roadway medians (due June 16, 2026, including shrubs and groundcover plantings). The City of McKinney, Texas requested turnkey interior plant services for City Hall via ITB 26-42 (due February 25, 2026, serving five-story municipal complex). Geographic activity clusters in Florida and Georgia, with additional Texas activity through both direct municipal procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Most solicitations employ IFB or ITB notice types with firm pricing and three-to-five-year contract terms, and many require plant materials sourced from state-licensed nurseries and compliance with native-species preferences where applicable.
