UNSPSC 10161828 Mint plant is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers the supply and installation of ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and native species for landscaping, dune restoration, and interior planting projects. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county boards of commissioners, cities, and school district cooperative purchasing vehicles. Collier County in Florida has issued multiple opportunities for plant materials—an ITB for 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, and grasses for the Pelican Bay Services Division (response deadline July 8, 2026) and a Quick Quote procurement for approximately 56,250 native dune plants for coastal dune stabilization (response deadline March 13, 2026). The City of McKinney, Texas issued an ITB for interior plant services for City Hall with live or faux plant options and monthly maintenance (response deadline February 25, 2026). The City of Fairburn, Georgia solicited landscape enhancements for roadway medians including shrub plantings and groundcover under IFB 26-013 (response deadline June 16, 2026). Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP for invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport across 35 acres of forested land with three phases and follow-up maintenance treatments (response deadline July 7, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with scattered procurement in Texas. Collier County emerges as a repeat buyer, issuing plant-supply contracts for both community beautification and specialized coastal restoration. Contract structures vary from firm three-year terms with annual price-adjustment provisions (Pelican Bay Services Division ornamental plants, with historical annual expenditure near $300,000) to one-time line-item purchasing for dune plantings to single-year renewable terms for interior plantings. Most opportunities require bidders to source from Florida-licensed nurseries where applicable, provide references demonstrating relevant experience, carry commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, and comply with E-Verify and local business registration requirements. A local-vendor preference applies in Collier County for vendors with a physical business address in Collier or Lee County holding a current Local Business Tax Receipt. Invasive plant removal work in Monroe County allocates evaluation points to local preference and emphasizes hourly-rate compensation structures rather than fixed pricing.
