UNSPSC 10226087: Aptenia cordifolia

Aptenia cordifolia is a creeping plant that forms a carpet of flat-forming perennial herbs in clusters on the ground starting from a base. The stems can reach about 3 meters long. The fleshy, bright green leaves are generally heart-shaped about 3 centimeters long or more.

UNSPSC 10226087, Aptenia cordifolia, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government contracting activity. The code nominally identifies a single plant species (Aptenia cordifolia, a succulent ground cover), yet the recent solicitations posted under or near this code span soil stabilization grouting, water treatment facility upgrades, window replacement, rapid-response construction services, herbicide application, and turf installation—none of which involve the purchase or supply of Aptenia cordifolia specimens. The mismatch between the code's botanical classification and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the source material or a misalignment in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities within their classification systems.

No active procurement activity directly supporting the supply, planting, or installation of Aptemia cordifolia is present in the recent opportunities block. While the Town of Palm Beach solicited installation of seven Lignum-Vitae trees, and the City of Norwalk requested tree and shrub supply and planting services, neither opportunity explicitly names this species or provides scope detail sufficient to assess demand. The code warrants close monitoring for reclassification or clarification from issuing bodies, but vendors focused on herbaceous or groundcover plant supply should not rely on this code to identify relevant municipal procurement opportunities at this time.
