UNSPSC 10202357: Live memphis rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the memphis variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202357 Live memphis rose bush is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve landscape construction and irrigation work (Pasco County median landscaping along Little Road), general nursery plants and products procurement (City of Altamonte Springs annuals, pots, plugs, grass seeds, and trees), and IT infrastructure installation at a tennis center (DeKalb County). Only the Altamonte Springs opportunity involves nursery stock procurement, and that solicitation spans thirteen plant varieties and multiple product categories across four groups — well beyond a single rose cultivar. The code shows little relevant recent activity; where opportunities do reference landscaping plants, they treat the nursery supply as part of broader landscape construction or general horticultural procurement rather than targeting a specific plant species.

Geographic activity in the recent record is limited to Florida (Pasco County and City of Altamonte Springs) and Georgia (DeKalb County), with no clear concentration or repeat-buyer pattern. The City of Altamonte Springs issued an ITB for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis with bids due July 29, 2026, awarding by product group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder and allowing multiple awards per group; the contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals. Pasco County posted an IFB (IFBKM27004) for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along Little Road with bids due October 6, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured signals that state and local buyers either misclassify nursery and landscape opportunities or use this code inconsistently for plant-related work that does not fit narrowly under a single rose species.
