UNSPSC 10202111: Live cartagena rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the cartagena variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202111 Live Cartagena rose bush is a Commodity code that nominally identifies ornamental plant stock, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect much broader environmental restoration and landscaping work rather than rose bushes specifically. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for native plant installation, dune stabilization, invasive species removal, irrigation system design and construction, and general landscaping supply — work that spans environmental mitigation, coastal resilience, park reconstruction, and municipal grounds maintenance. The issuing bodies include county departments of environmental services, county commissioners' offices, city parks and facilities divisions, and special environmental districts, soliciting via RFP, IFB, RFQ, and informal procurement processes. The work typically requires contractor licensing, environmental certifications (such as Florida Aquatic Applicator Category 5A), E-Verify compliance, and compliance with state environmental permitting and stormwater regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with solicitations from Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay coastal dune plantings, Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (five-year environmental planting and monitoring contract, RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025). Outside Florida, the City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for plant purchases (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026). The Pasco County irrigation and landscaping project carries a contract ceiling of $120,000 and the Pinellas County environmental services contract spans five years with potential for two 12-month extensions, structured on labor rates and as-needed ordering. The code shows active procurement but minimal recent activity outside the southeastern U.S., and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (rose bushes) and actual buying patterns (environmental restoration and general landscaping) suggests possible cataloging drift in state and local systems.
