UNSPSC 10212103: Live tuberosa asclepia

Live plant including the root ball of the tuberosa variety of asclepias

UNSPSC 10212103 Live tuberosa asclepia is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope of landscape installation, environmental restoration, and horticultural procurement. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit general plant materials, dune restoration plantings, invasive species removal paired with native plant installation, and sports facility landscaping. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), municipal governments (City of Dallas), and county-level infrastructure departments (DeKalb County). The work ranges from small informal quotes for specialty coastal plantings to multi-year environmental services contracts with compliance and monitoring requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where three of four opportunities posted in the first quarter of 2026. Pasco County issued an IFB on March 13, 2026, for landscaping and irrigation installation along 2.95 miles of Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and a 180-day completion timeline. Collier County posted a Quick Quote on March 13, 2026, for supply and installation of native dune plants across approximately 225,000 square feet of coastal dune, with responses due the same day; the scope includes approximately 56,250 native plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower), treated wood posts, natural fiber rope, and signage. Pinellas County released an RFP on February 26, 2026, for a five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services contract covering invasive species removal, native plant installation, and site monitoring at multiple locations including wetlands and stormwater ponds; proposals were due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026, for general plant purchase, due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened materials shipped FOB delivery to Dallas. A mismatch exists between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity — the code is tagged to transactions spanning landscape installation, environmental restoration, and horticultural commodity supply rather than tuberosa asclepia specifically, suggesting the code is functioning as a catch-all for plant-related work rather than a single-species commodity category.
