UNSPSC 10212212: Live japanese white aster

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

UNSPSC 10212212 Live Japanese white aster (Commodity) does not support meaningful state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains five state and local contract notices posted between January and June 2026, none of which solicits live Japanese white aster or any narrowly defined plant species by botanical name. Instead, the opportunities span broad landscaping and environmental restoration work: DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction (IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, unrelated to the code); Pasco County's roadway median and right-of-way landscaping and irrigation installation across 2.95 miles; Collier County's coastal dune stabilization using mixed native plantings (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower); Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and invasive species removal contract across multiple mitigation and wetland sites; and the City of Dallas's general plant purchase solicitation without species specification. No solicitation names Japanese white aster as a line item, specification, or deliverable. The mismatch between the code's botanical specificity and the actual procurement activity — which aggregates multiple species under broad environmental or landscaping scopes — indicates that state and local buyers do not use this Commodity code to tag plant purchases, or if they do, it does not reflect current bidding activity.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with most volume in Florida regional and county governments pursuing landscape restoration and environmental compliance work. No repeat issuers or standout procurement patterns emerge. The absence of any posted opportunity specifically naming or seeking Japanese white aster or similar horticultural commodity codes suggests this tier is either underutilized in state and local procurement or applied inconsistently. Buyers pursuing decorative or ecological planting work appear to use broader family-level or class-level codes rather than species-specific Commodity codes.
