UNSPSC 10202841: Live marlene spray rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the marlene spray variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202841 Live marlene spray rose bush is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity but shows little alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass coastal dune stabilization planting, roadside landscape and irrigation installation, environmental restoration and invasive species management, tennis facility reconstruction with IT infrastructure, and general plant purchases — none of which center on live marlene spray roses or rose bushes specifically. State and local governments are soliciting this code for broad landscape material procurement, environmental remediation planting, and maintenance services rather than for a specific rose variety. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb), municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas), and special-purpose districts. The geographic spread covers Florida (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas counties), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (Dallas), with Florida showing the most recent activity.

Recent representative opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid (IFB) KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, encompassing tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover installation across 15 medians with a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, due March 13, 2026, for supply and installation of 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower; Pinellas County's Request for Proposal (RFP) 250628RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning 2025–2030, with a five-year scope including invasive species removal and native plant installation; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for the Purchase of Plants (IFS 215260), due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened plants in original packaging delivered to a Dallas distribution center. The code shows sporadic activity with no clear annual pattern, and the mismatch between the stated commodity (live marlene spray rose bush) and actual procurement focus (general landscape, native ecosystem restoration, and dune stabilization planting) suggests either a data-entry error in the source or a code assignment that does not reflect current purchasing practice.
