UNSPSC 10161829: Rosemary plant

Rosemary is an aromatic shrub, woody, evergreen, that belongs to the Labiatae family. It is used in cooking and in natural and cosmetics medicine.

UNSPSC 10161829 Rosemary plant is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under it do not reflect a coherent procurement pattern for rosemary specifically. Instead, the code has captured a diverse set of plant and landscaping solicitations ranging from invasive species removal to educational supply catalogs, indicating either broad tagging at the family or segment level or inconsistent categorization by issuing bodies. State and local governments buying under this code span county commissions (Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County), cities (Fairburn and McKinney), and regional education cooperatives (Texas Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). The scope of recent work includes dune restoration plantings with native species (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane); ornamental shrubs and groundcover for roadway medians and municipal beautification; invasive exotic species removal and treatment across coastal conservation lands; and both live and artificial interior plant installations for municipal facilities. A majority of opportunities involve supply and installation of plant materials—typically native or ornamental species in quantities ranging from dozens to tens of thousands of units—paired with site preparation, mulching, irrigation, and maintenance services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts statewide, City of McKinney), with Georgia representing secondary activity (DeKalb County, City of Fairburn). Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026), which requests unit pricing for 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and sod with historical annual expenditures of approximately $300,000; Monroe County's Invasive Exotic Plant Removal Project at Marathon International Airport (RFP634, due July 7, 2026), a three-phase invasive species treatment and removal effort across approximately 35 acres with a maximum contract value of $300,000; and the City of Fairburn's Landscape Enhancements—Median Improvements (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026), which specifies installation of decorative rock, 227 shrubs and groundcover plants in multiple roadway medians with firm pricing through the 120-day contract term. Collier County also posted a Quick Quote for Bay Colony Dune Plantings (QQ2026102, due March 13, 2026), involving supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across coastal conservation land. Bonding, insurance, E-Verify compliance, and references from prior similar projects are standard requirements across ITB and RFP opportunities; cooperative purchasing vehicles like Region 7 operate on catalog-discount models with electronic bid submission and multi-year awards.
