UNSPSC 10202452: Live red calypso rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the red calypso variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202452 Live red calypso rose bush is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader range of landscape and environmental planting work — coastal dune restoration using native species, roadside median and irrigation installation, invasive plant removal and native species reforestation, and general plant procurement for municipal facilities. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and city procurement offices (City of Dallas, Texas), with a mix of one-time plant purchases and multi-year environmental management contracts. The work ranges from small informal solicitations for specific plant inventory to larger RFPs for comprehensive five-year environmental restoration and monitoring programs with professional licensing and regulatory compliance requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas. Representative opportunities include Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524), with bids due April 14, 2026 and a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (56,250 native dune plants following 2024 hurricane damage), bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services across wetlands and stormwater treatment sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025; and City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchase with bids due February 3, 2026. The code shows moderate recent activity but appears to function as a catch-all for plant-related procurements that may not align precisely with the calypso rose species name, suggesting that the code classification itself may be a data-entry artifact rather than an accurate reflection of state and local demand for this specific plant variety.
