UNSPSC 10201506: Live blue curiosa rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the blue curiosa variety of rose

UNSPSC 10201506 Live blue curiosa rose bush, a Commodity code, encompasses ornamental plant material and related landscaping installation services that state and local governments procure for park reconstruction, coastal restoration, highway beautification, and environmental remediation projects. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader scope of work than the nominal commodity name suggests: counties and municipalities are buying comprehensive landscaping and irrigation system installation, native plant species for coastal dune stabilization, invasive species removal paired with native plantings for environmental monitoring and maintenance, and general plant supply for municipal facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal governments (City of Dallas, Texas), with counties dominating recent activity. The work spans park and sports facility grounds installation, roadway median plantings with full irrigation infrastructure, post-hurricane dune restoration using native species, and multi-year environmental management contracts tied to wetland and stormwater compliance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with a representative Texas procurement. Recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for 2.95-mile landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) from Broad Street to Moon Lake Road, due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, a coastal restoration project supplying and installing approximately 56,250 native dune plants, due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for a five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services contract covering mitigation sites and wetlands, with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (IFS 215260), due February 3, 2026. The Pasco County procurement offers a local vendor preference for entities maintaining a Pasco County business address and operating there for at least 12 months prior to bid opening, though the preference does not apply when state or federal funding is involved. Collier County requires bidders to demonstrate coastal dune restoration experience with on-site supervision, obtain plants from Florida-licensed nurseries, and comply with sea turtle nesting season protocols.
