UNSPSC 10212216: Live novi belgii purple aster

Live plant including the root ball of the novi belgii purple variety of asters

UNSPSC 10212216 Live novi belgii purple aster (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span tennis center IT infrastructure reconstruction, roadside landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, multi-year environmental mitigation services, and general municipal plant purchases—none of which align with procurement of the specific plant species named in the code. The mismatch suggests either broad-scope tagging by issuing offices or misclassification at source. State and local buyers do solicit landscaping, dune restoration, environmental planting, and general plant procurement through various offices—counties and municipalities post these requirements as ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal solicitations—but the available records do not demonstrate demand specifically for live novi belgii purple aster as a line-item commodity or as part of a narrowly defined plant procurement.

The geographic spread of activity in the tagged records spans Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with Florida showing the densest recent activity in coastal and environmental restoration contexts. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB (bids due April 14, 2026, $120,000 contract value), Collier County's Pelican Bay dune planting Quick Quote (bids due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and maintenance RFP (bids due July 29, 2025), and Dallas's general plant purchase IFS (bids due February 3, 2026). None of these solicitations specify novi belgii purple aster as a required or preferred species. Without evidence of direct demand for this commodity under the code, the pursue case rests on whether your firm can pivot generic plant procurement or environmental restoration wins into a channel for this species—a speculative positioning for most vendors.
