UNSPSC 10212208: Live japanese pink aster

Live plant including the root ball of the japanese pink variety of asters

UNSPSC 10212208 Live Japanese pink aster is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The five opportunities on record—ranging from IT infrastructure installation at a tennis center in DeKalb County, Georgia; landscaping and irrigation along a county road in Pasco County, Florida; coastal dune restoration plantings in Collier County, Florida; environmental planting and invasive species removal services in Pinellas County, Florida; and a general plant purchase by the City of Dallas, Texas—reflect either misclassification or administrative tagging error. Only the Collier County dune planting solicitation, the Pinellas County environmental planting RFP, and the Dallas plant purchase contain any reference to plants at all, and none of these opportunities specifically call for live Japanese pink aster or any ornamental aster species.

The code shows no current market activity targeting the specific commodity it nominates. Issuing bodies across Florida counties, Georgia, and Texas have posted opportunities under this code in the first half of 2026, but the procurement activity does not reflect demand for Japanese pink aster as a line item or service component. Buyers appear to be procuring native coastal dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower), general environmental restoration plantings, or unspecified plant materials rather than asters. This mismatch suggests that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its intended commodity, and firms tracking this code should verify classification accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
