UNSPSC 10202701: Live aalsmeer gold rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the aalsmeer gold variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202701 Live aalsmeer gold rose bush is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show virtually no activity aligned with that narrow product scope. The most recent opportunities instead involve broad landscape and environmental restoration work—coastal dune plantings using native species, roadside landscaping and irrigation installation, and multi-year environmental planting and maintenance contracts that encompass invasive species removal, native plant installation, monitoring, and reporting across wetlands and stormwater facilities. A single Dallas city bid for generic plants procurement also carries the code but specifies new, unopened stock in original packaging with no alternatives accepted, a different transactional mode entirely. The issuing bodies include county boards (Pasco, Pinellas, Collier, DeKalb), a city procurement office (Dallas), and county special divisions (Collier's Pelican Bay Services Division). The code shows a persistent mismatch between its product name and the actual work being procured, which centers on environmental and landscape restoration rather than the purchase of a particular rose cultivar.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pasco, Pinellas, and Collier counties) with additional recent solicitations from Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road from Broad Street to Moon Lake Road, due April 14, 2026, budgeted at $120,000 with a 180-day performance window; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, a nature-based coastal stabilization project with approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 4,500 linear feet, with bidding closed March 13, 2026; and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services across mitigation sites and wetlands from 2025 to 2030, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The code's limited relevance to its nominal product category and the dominance of large, ongoing environmental restoration and landscape contracts suggests this commodity code is either underutilized or misapplied by state and local procurement offices tagging these solicitations.
