Plant that belongs to the Apiaceae family. Thrives in cold seasons and is recognized for its abundance of aromatic substances. It is used in cooking and natural medicine.

UNSPSC 10161830 Celery plant, a Commodity code, captures ornamental and functional plant materials that state and local governments procure for landscape restoration, dune stabilization, coastal erosion control, and interior beautification—work that diverges sharply from the code's nominal agricultural produce classification. Recent solicitations show counties and cities buying native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane), shrubs for median and right-of-way enhancement, invasive species removal services, and specimen-quality groundcover and ornamentals in containerized form. The issuing bodies are primarily county procurement offices (Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County in Georgia) and municipal governments (City of Fairburn, City of McKinney), with Collier County appearing twice in recent activity—once for plants and shrubs at Pelican Bay Services and again for coastal dune plantings. Work ranges from single-project landscape installations under ITB notices with firm pricing through multi-year supply agreements with renewal options and as-required purchasing patterns.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and Georgia (DeKalb County, City of Fairburn), with one Texas municipal procurement (City of McKinney). Representative opportunities include Collier County's ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026) for 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and sod sourced from licensed Florida nurseries with three-year contract terms and firm pricing during the initial term, estimated at approximately $300,000 annually; Monroe County's RFP for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026) encompassing three phases of treatment and maintenance across 35 acres with a maximum contract value of $300,000 and hourly crew-based compensation; and City of Fairburn's IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026) for median landscaping including shrubs, groundcover, decorative rock, and irrigation on a lump-sum basis. Collier County enforces a local-vendor preference requiring physical business address and current Local Business Tax Receipt, and Monroe County allocates 4 points of 55 evaluation points to local preference. Performance bonds, commercial general liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range, and E-Verify enrollment are standard contractual requirements.
