UNSPSC 10211516: Live tulip purple anthurium

Live plant including the root ball of the tulip purple variety of anthuriums

UNSPSC 10211516 Live tulip purple anthurium is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific ornamental plant species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that narrow taxonomic scope. Of three recent opportunities posted under the code, two involve broad landscaping plant procurement (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees on an as-needed basis), one involves median landscape and irrigation construction, and one involves IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a tennis facility — indicating either inconsistent code application by issuing bodies or misclassification in the source data. The issuing bodies are a county government (Pasco County Board of County Commissioners), a city procurement office (City of Altamonte Springs, Florida), and another county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), all pursuing landscape or facility work rather than procurement of live purple anthuriums specifically.

The recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs posted an ITB on August 24, 2026 (due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products on an as-needed, when-needed basis spanning plugs, trees, 3-gallon potted plants, and grass seed, with contract commencement October 1, 2026 for an initial one-year term with four optional one-year renewals; bidders must provide Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and comply with Florida Business Tax Receipt, E-Verify, conflict-of-interest, and human trafficking attestation requirements. Pasco County posted an IFB on September 2, 2026 for Little Road Medians Phase II landscape and irrigation construction spanning approximately 9 miles, with bids due October 6, 2026. The code does not appear to capture demand for purple anthuriums specifically, and these solicitations warrant caution — the code label and actual buying activity diverge substantially.
