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 (Commodity) covers ornamental and functional plant material that state and local governments buy for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and habitat restoration on an as-needed basis. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties purchasing rosemary and related plant varieties as part of broader landscaping plant portfolios, though rosemary is not explicitly named in every opportunity — the code sits within a larger nursery-plant ecosystem where jurisdictions buy annuals, shrubs, grasses, trees, and groundcover for median beautification, right-of-way enhancement, and invasive-species mitigation. Issuing bodies span municipalities (the City of Altamonte Springs, the City of Fairburn), county governments (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County), and special-purpose districts (Pelican Bay Services Division, Marathon International Airport). Most recent activity involves ITBs and RFPs structured as as-needed, when-needed contracts with no guaranteed purchase volumes; bidders typically submit unit prices for multiple plant varieties and line items, with awards made to the lowest responsive bidder on either a lump-sum or per-line-item basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY in July 2026 for nursery plants and products (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seed, and trees) with a one-year initial term and four renewal options; Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (ITB 26-8667, July 2026) with historical annual expenditures near $300,000; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600339 for herbicide spraying and planting services valued at $544,532.50 (August 2026 close); the City of Fairburn, Georgia, posted IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements including shrub plantings and groundcover (June 2026); and Monroe County, Florida, sought invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport through RFP634 (July 2026 close). Contract terms typically run three to five years with as-needed ordering, delivery windows of ten to thirty days, and insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $5 million depending on scope and liability exposure.
