UNSPSC 10202428: Live gospel rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the gospel variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202428 Live gospel rose bush (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local activity. The five recent opportunities posted across Georgia, Florida, and Texas since late January 2026 focus on landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental planting and monitoring, and general plant procurement — none of which specifically target live gospel rose bush supply or planting. The DeKalb County ITB for tennis center reconstruction tags IT and low-voltage infrastructure work under this code, an obvious classification error. The issuing bodies span county commissions (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and a municipal department (City of Dallas), indicating activity across county and city-level procurement. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity. Pasco County's March 2026 IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a response date of April 14, 2026, and Collier County's March 2026 Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings with native species (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) both solicit broad landscaping and planting services rather than a specific rose cultivar. Pinellas County's five-year RFP (released June 30, 2025; proposals due July 29, 2025) covers environmental planting, invasive removal, and native plant installation across wetlands and stormwater sites. The City of Dallas's January 2026 Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase with a February 3 response date does not specify plant types or quantities. Business development professionals should verify whether the code is being applied to rose-related procurements at all, or whether this represents systematic mislabeling in the state and local procurement system.
