UNSPSC 10202506: Live orange sweetheart rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the orange sweetheart variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202506 Live orange sweetheart rose bush (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title suggests ornamental rose plants, but the five recent opportunities posted under this code involve IT infrastructure installation (DeKalb County tennis center), landscape and irrigation installation along a roadway (Pasco County), coastal dune restoration planting with native species (Collier County), environmental wetland and stormwater site management with native plant installation (Pinellas County), and a generic plants purchase for the City of Dallas. Only the Dallas procurement plainly involves purchasing plants as a commodity; the remainder concern installation labor, site design, environmental remediation, and multiyear service contracts rather than plant supply alone. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and a city (Dallas), with no state departments or school districts represented in recent activity.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties) with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000), Collier County's informal Quick Quote for coastal dune planting of approximately 56,250 native plants (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services on wetlands and stormwater sites (due July 29, 2025). The Dallas purchase order for plants (due February 3, 2026) was the only recent solicitation that treated plants primarily as a supply item rather than as part of a larger service or construction scope. The code appears to be misapplied to landscape construction and environmental restoration services; state and local procurement activity under this code does not substantively target ornamental rose bushes or single-plant-species purchases.
