UNSPSC 10212218: Live solidago aster

Live plant including the root ball of the solidago variety of asters

UNSPSC 10212218 Live solidago aster is a Commodity code that classifies native plant materials—specifically live aster plants—that state and local governments procure for landscaping, ecological restoration, and dune stabilization projects. The code sees activity across counties and municipalities soliciting these plants as part of broader environmental and infrastructure work, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct procurement of this specific species. Instead, state and local buyers tag broader landscaping and environmental restoration work under this code, acquiring live plant materials including asters alongside other native species, groundcovers, trees, and shrubs in service of coastal dune restoration, stormwater management, wetland mitigation, and roadway beautification. Issuing bodies include county environmental and public works departments (Collier County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County), municipal parks and recreation offices (City of Dallas), and county commissions pursuing restoration and capital improvement projects. These agencies typically solicit through IFB, RFP, and informal procurement processes with firm, one-time pricing or multi-year framework agreements.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia. Collier County, Florida issued a Quick Quote in March 2026 for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project—a coastal dune stabilization procurement spanning approximately 225,000 square feet and requiring approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower, with responses due March 13, 2026. Pasco County, Florida posted an IFB (IFB KM-26-047) in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species meeting Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards, with bids due April 14, 2026 at a contract not-to-exceed of $120,000. Pinellas County, Florida released an RFP in June 2025 (closing July 29, 2025) for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services across a five-year period covering mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater facilities, with a plant specification list of 150 native species. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 (IFS 215260) for purchase of plants with responses due February 3, 2026. These opportunities emphasize compliance with state environmental licensing, E-Verify registration, and performance bonds, with several requiring proof of coastal dune restoration or wetland ecology expertise.
