UNSPSC 10201741: Live timeless rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the timeless variety of rose

UNSPSC 10201741 Live timeless rose bush is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual landscape and environmental work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve large-scale landscape installation, dune restoration, environmental planting, and irrigation infrastructure—not the ornamental rose bushes the code nominally describes. The City of Dallas posted a brief plant purchase RFQ in January 2026, but the solicitations actually dominating recent activity are comprehensive environmental and landscape projects from Florida counties and Georgia municipalities. The issuing bodies span county commissions (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and city governments (Dallas), with counties appearing more frequently in the recent-opportunities block. Most work requires State of Florida licensing and professional certifications for landscape contractors, wetland ecology specialists, or environmental professionals, along with proof of E-Verify enrollment and compliance with coastal or stormwater regulations.

The geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Florida, with recent activity in Pasco County (IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, due April 14, 2026, contract value $120,000), Collier County (coastal dune planting via Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (five-year environmental planting and maintenance RFP, 2025–2030, with SBE participation thresholds). Pinellas County's RFP explicitly lists 150 native plant species and requires invasive plant removal and native ecosystem restoration, signaling a shift away from ornamental stock toward ecological restoration. DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for tennis center reconstruction with IT infrastructure components (due July 13, 2026), which appears misclassified under this code. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) is the sole recent example of straightforward plant purchase at the commodity level, with no disclosed budget. This code shows limited recent state and local activity aligned to its nominal scope; most procurement activity operates at the landscape services or environmental restoration level rather than live plant supply alone.
