UNSPSC 10202708: Live cantata or cantate rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the cantata or cantate variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202708 Live cantata or cantate rose bush is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset includes five posted solicitations tagged to this code, yet none involve the purchase or installation of cantata or cantate rose bushes as ornamental plants. Instead, the opportunities reflect landscaping, irrigation, dune restoration, environmental remediation, and general plant procurement — work that spans native species installation, invasive plant removal, coastal dune stabilization, and undifferentiated plant supply. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly or as a catch-all classification for horticultural work that does not match the specific plant species the code nominally describes. State and local governments posting under this code represent a mix of issuing bodies: county boards of county commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), county departments (DeKalb County), and municipal procurement (City of Dallas). None of the recent opportunities name a repeat buyer, and the work spans infrastructure reconstruction with embedded landscaping, highway median restoration, coastal erosion control, multi-site environmental management contracts, and routine plant supply.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and extends to Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (City of Dallas). Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with bids due April 14, 2026, specifying 2.95 miles of median and right-of-way plantings at a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, a 225,000-square-foot coastal dune restoration with native species installation and bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple mitigation and wetland sites with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchase (IFS 215260) with bids due February 3, 2026. Given the consistent disconnection between the code's named commodity and the actual work being bought, this code shows little decision-relevant recent activity in its intended category.
