UNSPSC 10211716: Live new cairo alstroemeria

Live plant including the root ball of the new cairo variety of alstroemerias

UNSPSC 10211716 Live new cairo alstroemeria is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific ornamental plant variety, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's stated scope. The five most recent solicitations include IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction, landscaping and irrigation installation along a county road, coastal dune native plant restoration, comprehensive environmental planting and wetland management services, and general plant purchases for municipal use. Only the last two opportunities—the Pelican Bay dune plantings and the Pinellas County environmental services contract—involve plant material directly, and both call for native species suited to ecological restoration rather than a single ornamental cultivar. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city (Dallas, Texas), suggesting the code is used across municipal and county procurement systems, though the opportunities reveal significant tagging misalignment.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where three of five opportunities posted between February and June 2026: Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026, not exceeding $120,000); Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration via Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026, firm pricing submitted line-item); and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025, with SBE participation provisions and a $100,000 not-to-exceed threshold for work assignments). DeKalb County, Georgia, issued ITB 2026-076 for tennis center IT infrastructure (due July 13, 2026), and the City of Dallas issued Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). The code shows persistent misclassification—the specification of live new cairo alstroemeria does not match the scope of actual solicitations, suggesting procurement offices are either using the code as a catch-all for horticultural work or the tagging reflects historical database artifacts rather than current buying patterns.
