UNSPSC 10202740: Live high society rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the high society variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202740 Live high society rose bush (Commodity) encompasses ornamental shrubs and perennial plantings sourced by state and local governments for landscape reconstruction, dune stabilization, median plantings, and environmental restoration projects. State and local procurement activity under this code spans county governments, municipal parks departments, and environmental management divisions, with recent opportunities concentrated in Florida counties—DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida; and the City of Dallas, Texas. Solicitations range from discrete plant purchases (such as the City of Dallas's single informal solicitation for unopened, new plants delivered FOB) to large-scale environmental and landscape installation contracts that include site preparation, irrigation systems, native plant installation, post-planting maintenance, and regulatory compliance documentation.

Recent activity demonstrates two distinct procurement patterns. Direct plant purchases are handled as informal solicitations or quick quotes with short turnaround windows—the City of Dallas Informal Solicitation 215260 (due February 3, 2026) and Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026)—typically evaluated on lowest responsive and responsible vendor basis with firm pricing and warranty provisions. Larger environmental and landscape projects are procured as IFBs or RFPs with extended performance periods, such as Pasco County's Invitation for Bid KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026), budgeted at $120,000.00 with 180-day completion and one-year warranty, and Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services 2025–2030 (due July 29, 2025) structured as an as-needed contract with SBE participation thresholds and a 150-species native plant listing. Bidders consistently encounter E-Verify registration mandates, insurance and bonding requirements, compliance with state environmental permitting and sea turtle nesting season protocols, and proof of professional licensure or specialty applicator certifications.
