UNSPSC 10202609: Live avalanche rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the avalanche variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202609 Live avalanche rose bush is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not represent purchases of rose bushes or similar nursery stock. Instead, the tagged opportunities span coastal dune restoration planting (Collier County's Pelican Bay dune plantings with sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower), roadway landscaping and irrigation installation (Pasco County's Ridge Road median and right-of-way planting and irrigation systems), multi-year environmental site management including invasive plant removal and native species installation (Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and monitoring RFP), and a general plants purchase order (City of Dallas informal solicitation for new plants in original packaging with no substitutes). The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier, Pasco, Pinellas, and DeKalb), a city procurement office (Dallas), and miscellaneous government departments. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being tagged—the recent opportunities reflect landscape installation, ecological restoration, and stormwater management planting rather than commercial nursery plant sales.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida (Collier, Pasco, and Pinellas counties) with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas). The Pasco County Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB (posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026) carried a contract ceiling of $120,000 and required bidders to be Florida-licensed with E-Verify registration and performance bonds. The Collier County Pelican Bay dune planting Quick Quote (posted and due March 13, 2026) sought supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet, with line-item pricing and compliance with sea turtle nesting season protocols. The Pinellas County RFP (released June 30, 2025, closed July 29, 2025) sought five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple sites with certified applicator requirements and SBE participation provisions capped at $100,000 work assignments. The code's current activity does not align with rose-bush procurement and suggests either a data classification issue or minimal demand for this specific commodity in state and local markets.
