UNSPSC 10161831 Parsley plant is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses far broader plant procurement than the code name alone suggests—state and local governments are soliciting under this code for supply and installation of ornamental plants, shrubs, native species, dune restoration plantings, and landscape enhancements across dozens of line items per solicitation. Collier County and other Florida jurisdictions dominate recent activity, buying plants in bulk for community beautification, coastal dune stabilization, and median improvements. County procurement offices, cities, and special-purpose service divisions issue the majority of solicitations; cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts also tag educational-supply bids under related codes, though those are tangential to plant procurement itself. Work typically includes species sourcing from licensed nurseries, compliance with state horticultural standards, delivery scheduling, and in many cases installation labor, mulch, soil amendments, and warranty coverage ranging from one to three years.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Collier County, Florida has posted two major opportunities: ITB 26-8667 (Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services, due July 8, 2026) covering 78 line items of ornamental plants and sod with approximately $300,000 in historical annual expenditures, and the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026) for 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune following 2024 hurricane damage. The City of Fairburn, Georgia issued IFB 26-013 (Landscape Enhancements—Median Improvements, due June 16, 2026) for shrubs, groundcover, and decorative rock across four roadway medians. Monroe County, Florida's RFP 634 (Invasive Exotic Plant Removal Project at Marathon International Airport, due July 7, 2026) frames plant work differently—removal and treatment services rather than supply—but operates under the same vendor-qualification and insurance frameworks. The City of McKinney, Texas solicited interior plant services (ITB 26-42ITB, due February 25, 2026) for live or commercial-grade faux plants. Texas education cooperatives tag catalog-discount bids for general educational supplies under similar codes; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 (due July 30, 2026) represents the cooperative model but does not reflect plant-specific procurement volumes.
