UNSPSC 10201738: Live sahara rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the sahara variety of rose

UNSPSC 10201738 Live sahara rose bush (Commodity) shows negligible alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block names landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration using native plants, environmental planting and invasive-species removal for wetlands and stormwater sites, and general plant purchases — none of which center on sahara rose bushes or are specific to that species. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city (Dallas, Texas), all soliciting work via ITB, IFB, Quick Quote informal process, RFP, and Informal Solicitation. The geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Florida counties and the greater Southeast, with Dallas representing the only Texas activity in the recent block.

The code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors positioned to supply sahara rose bushes specifically. Recent opportunities instead reflect broad-based landscaping and ecological restoration work — Pasco County's Ridge Road median and right-of-way irrigation and planting (IFB, due April 14, 2026, contract ceiling $120,000); Collier County's Pelican Bay coastal dune stabilization using sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower (Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and invasive-species removal contract covering wetlands, stormwater ponds, and surface-water conveyances (RFP, due July 29, 2025); and Dallas's general plant purchases (Informal Solicitation, due February 3, 2026). None of these solicitations specify sahara rose bushes as a required plant material or emphasize ornamental shrubs typical of that species. This code warrants a skip unless the vendor's product mix extends into the native-plant or environmental-restoration categories now driving actual procurement under this taxonomy entry.
