UNSPSC 10202623: Live patience or auspastor rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the patience or auspastor variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202623 Live patience or auspastor rose bush, a Commodity code, shows misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title suggests a narrow horticultural product line, but the opportunities posted under it span broad environmental restoration, landscaping infrastructure, and general plant procurement across Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The work actually being solicited includes coastal dune restoration using native species, multi-mile road landscaping and irrigation systems, environmental planting and invasive species management on five-year contracts, and general plant purchases for municipal use. Issuing bodies include county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County), cities (Dallas), and county environmental or parks divisions; Pinellas County and the Florida coastal counties (Pasco, Collier) appear most active in environmental restoration contracting under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with three of five opportunities posted from coastal or central Florida counties undertaking post-hurricane dune restoration and roadway landscaping. DeKalb County, Georgia posted a tennis center reconstruction bid in June 2026 with bids due July 13, 2026 (though the scope emphasizes IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than plantings, indicating potential miscoding). The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for general plant purchases due February 3, 2026. Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with a proposal deadline of July 29, 2025. Pasco County's larger landscaping and irrigation installation bid on Ridge Road (C.R. 524) was due April 14, 2026 under IFB KM-26-047, capped at $120,000 and requiring Florida licensing, E-Verify compliance, and a one-year warranty on planted materials. Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings (56,250 native plants across 4,500 linear feet) closed March 13, 2026. The code shows moderate recent activity but geographic concentration and significant scope variance suggest bidders should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities.
