UNSPSC 10202603: Live akito rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the akito variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202603 Live akito rose bush is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental rose plants, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment with this specific plant variety. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span landscape and irrigation construction, general nursery plant procurement, and information technology infrastructure — a mismatch that signals the code captures activity only tangentially related to live rose bushes themselves. When state and local governments do solicit plants under this code tier, they typically buy mixed assortments of landscaping stock (annuals, plugs, grasses, trees, and potted varieties) on an as-needed basis for public grounds maintenance, median beautification, and parks work rather than rose bushes in particular. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, cities, and county parks authorities, often managing landscape upkeep across multiple public properties and requiring flexible, periodic replenishment rather than one-time bulk purchases.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida posted an ITB in August 2026 for nursery plants and products on a when-needed basis with five-year contract terms, and Pasco County, Florida posted an IFB in September 2026 for landscape and irrigation construction along a nine-mile median corridor due October 6, 2026. A DeKalb County, Georgia ITB posted in June 2026 for tennis center reconstruction included IT and low voltage infrastructure work unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The Altamonte Springs solicitation is the most representative of typical activity under this code — it sought multiple plant categories across four product groups with a percentage-off-catalog pricing model, delivery windows of 15 to 30 days, and insurance and compliance requirements including E-Verify, Florida Sunbiz registration, and state scrutinized-list verification, with an initial one-year term and optional renewal through five years total.
