UNSPSC 10161835 Leek plant is a Commodity code with minimal direct application to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve leek plants or horticultural commodity procurement aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities span ornamental landscaping, invasive plant removal, educational supplies, and interior plant installation — service-based and design-intensive work that diverges substantially from nursery commodity purchasing.

The source shows no recent state and local solicitations for leek plants or similar produce-category commodities. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs (posted June 18, 2026, due July 8, 2026) focuses on ornamental species for right-of-way beautification under a three-year supply contract with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $300,000; the City of Fairburn's IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements (posted May 21, 2026, due June 16, 2026) seeks shrubs and groundcover installation; and Monroe County's RFP 634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (posted May 21, 2026, due July 7, 2026) involves ecological restoration rather than commodity supply. The broader opportunity set includes municipal interior plant services through the City of McKinney's turnkey plant installation procurement and cooperative purchasing for educational supplies through Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact — jurisdictions are not actively sourcing leek plants through state and local procurement channels at present.
