UNSPSC 10201746: Live virginia rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the virginia variety of rose

UNSPSC 10201746 Live virginia rose bush, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunity record. The code nominally designates a specific ornamental plant species, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span broad landscape installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental remediation planting, and general plant procurement — none of which focus on virginia rose bushes as a line item. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026) calls for trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover installed across 15 medians under Florida Grade Number 1 standards; Collier County's Pelican Bay dune planting Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026) specifies sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower for coastal stabilization; Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and monitoring RFP (due July 29, 2025) includes a 150-species native plant list for wetlands and stormwater sites; and the City of Dallas's informal plant purchase solicitation (due February 3, 2026) requests new, unopened plants with no species detail provided. Issuing bodies include county commissions (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb), a municipal government (Dallas), and one utility/technology-focused county department. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code does not effectively capture state and local horticultural or landscaping procurement under current tagging practices.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas counties) and extends to Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas). The recent opportunities span landscape and irrigation infrastructure installation, coastal environmental restoration, and multi-year ecological management contracts, with contract scopes ranging from $120,000 (Pasco Ridge Road IFB) to five-year environmental services agreements with SBE participation thresholds. Procurement methods include IFB, Quick Quote informal processes, RFP, and low-value sealed-bid solicitations. If pursuing this code, recognize that it may misclassify landscaping, native plant restoration, and general horticultural procurement — vendors should monitor broader landscape construction and environmental services codes and track issuing body tags directly rather than rely on this commodity designation alone.
