UNSPSC 10161828: Mint plant

A plant that belongs to the Lamiaceae (ex Labiatae ) family. It is among the most widely aromatic herbs and is appreciated for its characteristic refreshing scent. It is used in gastronomy, food production such as candy, shaving lotions, oral products, perfumes, pharmaceuticals, etc.

UNSPSC 10161828 Mint plant, a Commodity code, encompasses landscaping and grounds-maintenance plant materials that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for right-of-way beautification, invasive-species control, and community landscape projects. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions purchasing ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, native species, trees, and related plant materials in multiple container sizes and quantities, often alongside herbicide and planting services. Issuing bodies include cities (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), counties (Hillsborough, Collier, Monroe, DeKalb), and regional cooperative purchasing entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). While the code's nominal name suggests mint specifically, the actual procurement activity spans broad plant-material categories and grounds-maintenance labor; mint as a discrete line item does not appear prominently in the recent opportunities reviewed.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY (due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products including annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed purchase quantities, awarded by group to lowest-cost responsive bidders. Hillsborough County issued ITB 2600339 (due August 3, 2026) for herbicide spraying and planting services valued at $544,532.50 over three years to control invasive species and weeds at mitigation sites and drainage structures. Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division, with historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000 and three-year contract terms. Monroe County issued RFP 634 (due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport, a 35-acre project with a maximum contract value of $300,000 and mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 3, 2026. The City of Fairburn issued IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026) for landscape median enhancements including decorative rock and specimen plantings with mandatory site visit on May 28, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited educational activities and supplies under EDACT 2628, though this appears peripherally related to the code's plant-material scope.
