UNSPSC 10202102: Live aloha rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the aloha variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202102 Live aloha rose bush is a Commodity code that appears to capture ornamental plant procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it diverge substantially from the code's nominal scope. The five most recent solicitations involve coastal dune restoration planting (native sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower), roadside landscaping and irrigation installation, environmental site remediation with native plant species and invasive species removal, and generic plant purchases for municipal use — none of which center on aloha rose bushes or ornamental rose varieties. This mismatch suggests either that the code has been applied inconsistently by issuing bodies or that the code's practical use has shifted away from its formal name. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span counties (DeKalb County in Georgia, Pasco County in Florida, Collier County in Florida, and Pinellas County in Florida), municipalities (the City of Dallas, Texas), and various county service divisions. The work being solicited ranges from small informal quotes for plant supplies to comprehensive five-year environmental management contracts encompassing invasive species removal, native plantings, monitoring, and maintenance.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where three of five posted opportunities originate: Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026, with a $120,000 contract ceiling), Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings coastal restoration project (Quick Quote informal procurement, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP covering a five-year term from 2025 to 2030. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026), while DeKalb County in Georgia posted an ITB for Tennis Center reconstruction that includes IT and low-voltage infrastructure alongside incidental plant-related work. Pasco County's landscaping bid required State of Florida licensure, E-Verify enrollment, and compliance with stormwater pollution prevention standards; Pinellas County's RFP specified State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator credentials; and Collier County's dune planting project required contractors to source plants from Florida-licensed nurseries and demonstrate coastal dune restoration experience. The code shows modest activity volume with no clear repeat buyers beyond Florida's county-level procurement activity, and the geographic and functional diversity of recent solicitations suggests no concentrated procurement pattern that would support specialized go-to-market positioning.
