UNSPSC 10212209: Live japanese purple aster

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

UNSPSC 10212209 Live japanese purple aster is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with this code's specific scope. The recent opportunities block contains five solicitations posted between January and June 2026, yet none explicitly procure live japanese purple aster or focus on this ornamental variety. Instead, the recent activity spans broader landscaping and environmental planting work: Pasco County's IFB for installation of landscaping and irrigation systems along Ridge Road includes trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species; Collier County's Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project specifies native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower; Pinellas County's five-year RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covers invasive and exotic plant removal and native plant installation across wetlands and stormwater treatment areas; the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for unspecified plants with delivery to a single address; and DeKalb County's ITB for Tennis Center reconstruction focuses on IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure, not plantings. The issuing bodies span county governments (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb) and municipal government (Dallas), with no state departments or school districts represented in this sample.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, with three of the five opportunities posted by Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), and secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (City of Dallas). The representative opportunities show solicitation types including IFB (Pasco County, due April 14, 2026), Quick Quote informal procurement (Collier County, due March 13, 2026), RFP (Pinellas County, due July 29, 2025), and informal solicitation (City of Dallas, due February 3, 2026). The code appears to see limited direct procurement of live japanese purple aster as a discrete commodity; buyers in this sample are issuing broader landscaping, environmental restoration, and plant-supply requests where this specific ornamental variety would not typically feature prominently.
