UNSPSC 56101609: Clay flowerpot

Container with a hole at the bottom for drainage, used to cultivate plants indoor and outdoor.

UNSPSC 56101609 Clay flowerpot is a Commodity code that nominally covers horticultural containers, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect direct procurement of flowerpots. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code involve pottery supplies and landscape maintenance services. The Fulton County, Georgia ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, posted October 16, 2026, solicits landscape maintenance for the South Fulton Demonstration Garden including quarterly care of pollinator and rain gardens, mulch application, irrigation system maintenance, and seasonal plantings—services for which clay flowerpots may be incidental but are not the primary procurement. The City of Orlando's IFB 27-0025, posted October 6, 2026, and the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation RFQ 226100 both seek pottery supplies including clay, glazes, and colorants to support active pottery studios and education programs, with clay itself being the commodity rather than finished containers. The code shows little direct activity in state and local procurement for manufactured clay flowerpots; rather, opportunities aligned to it address raw clay materials and landscape or recreation services where pots may appear as consumables.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Arizona, with secondary presence in Texas and Florida. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County, DeKalb County), municipalities (City of Orlando, City of Tucson), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). The Region 7 cooperative solicitation EDACT2628, posted June 15, 2026, is a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its member network—suggesting broad demand for educational ceramics and craft supplies, though clay flowerpots are not explicitly enumerated. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the services and raw materials actually being procured signals that this code does not reliably surface state and local opportunities for flowerpot vendors; opportunities in outdoor furnishings, landscape amenities, or horticultural supplies may be tagged under different UNSPSC codes or may not be classified granularly enough to surface under the flowerpot commodity level.
