UNSPSC 10201809: Live old dutch rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the old dutch variety of rose

UNSPSC 10201809 Live old dutch rose bush is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it span a much wider range of landscape and environmental planting work — from routine plant procurement for municipal landscaping to large-scale coastal dune restoration and multi-year environmental mitigation contracts. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and city governments (City of Dallas, Texas), with issuing bodies ranging from parks departments and innovation/technology offices to county environmental and public works divisions. The scope of work varies significantly: the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for generic plant purchases with delivery to a single site; Pasco County solicited landscaping and irrigation installation across 2.95 miles of roadway corridor; Collier County sought supply and installation of native dune plants for coastal dune stabilization following hurricane damage; and Pinellas County issued an RFP for multi-year environmental planting, invasive plant removal, monitoring, and regulatory reporting services on wetlands and stormwater facilities.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, where Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties all posted opportunities in the first quarter of 2026, with Texas representation from Dallas. The DeKalb County opportunity, posted June 9, 2026 with an ITB due date of July 13, 2026, nominally concerns tennis center reconstruction but was tagged to this code despite its primary scope being information technology and low-voltage infrastructure installation — indicating potential misclassification in the source database. More representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, $120,000 contract ceiling), Collier County's Quick Quote for dune plantings with approximately 56,250 native plants across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting and monitoring services as an as-needed contract for 2025–2030 with potential two-year extensions, and the City of Dallas's informal plant purchase solicitation (due February 3, 2026). The code shows recent activity but also reflects significant classification drift — the live rose bush commodity description does not align with the actual environmental restoration, site-scale landscaping, and regulatory monitoring work that dominates the tagged opportunities.
