UNSPSC 10202458: Live red magic rose bush

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

UNSPSC 10202458 Live red magic rose bush (Commodity) encompasses supply and installation of ornamental plants for landscape and dune restoration projects undertaken by state and local governments. Recent state and local opportunities show divergence between the nominal code description and actual purchasing activity—the code is being applied to solicitations for native plant material supply and installation across coastal restoration, environmental mitigation, and general municipal landscaping initiatives rather than the specific rose variety the code name implies. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal governments (City of Dallas, Texas). Work ranges from small one-time purchases of plant material to multi-year environmental services contracts with monitoring and maintenance obligations; contractors are frequently required to hold state pesticide applicator licenses, wetland ecology certifications, and coastal restoration experience credentials. Scope includes furnishing native plant species as liners or established specimens, site installation at specified spacing and density, initial establishment watering, soil amendments, erosion control measures, and long-term maintenance or monitoring in some contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas counties), with additional solicitations from Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, budget capped at $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings involving 56,250 native dune plants following 2024 hurricane damage (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetlands and stormwater sites (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchase (due February 3, 2026). The code shows material recent activity but the purchasing mix spans commodity plant supply, specialized environmental restoration services, and infrastructure landscaping rather than a narrow category.
