UNSPSC 10202500: Live sweetheart rose bushes

Live bushes including the roots of the sweetheart variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202500 Live sweetheart rose bushes is a Class code covering the supply and installation of ornamental plants and landscaping materials for public facilities, parks, and environmental restoration projects. Recent state and local opportunities show a mix of jurisdictions procuring under this code, primarily counties and municipalities across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with scope ranging from large-scale landscape and irrigation projects for roads and parks to native dune restoration and environmental mitigation work. DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida; and the City of Dallas, Texas have all issued notices in the past six months. Work is being solicited as both competitive construction or installation contracts (ITB and IFB formats) and as professional services agreements (RFP and informal bids), reflecting the dual nature of the activity—supply of materials paired with labor-intensive planting, installation, and ongoing maintenance obligations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, where multiple counties are managing post-hurricane coastal restoration, stormwater pond vegetation management, and roadside landscaping initiatives, with secondary activity in Texas and Georgia. Recent representative opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid No. KM-26-047 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along 2.95 miles of Ridge Road with a contract value not exceeding $120,000, Collier County's Quick Quote solicitation for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (due March 13, 2026) encompassing approximately 56,250 native dune plants and coastal stabilization infrastructure, Pinellas County's five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP (due July 29, 2025) with SBE participation thresholds, and the City of Dallas's informal bid for Plants (due February 3, 2026) requiring new, unopened materials priced FOB delivery. The mismatch between the code's nominal title—live sweetheart rose bushes—and the actual recent solicitations, which span native species restoration, dune stabilization, roadside landscaping, and general municipal plant procurement, suggests the code captures broad ornamental plant supply and installation work rather than a specific cultivar category.
