UNSPSC 10212400: Live bouvardias

Live plants including the root ball of bouvardias

UNSPSC 10212400 Live bouvardias is a Class code that covers the supply and installation of live flowering plants and ornamental vegetation for public infrastructure projects, grounds restoration, and environmental mitigation work. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for landscaping installation, dune and wetland restoration, coastal stabilization plantings, and routine grounds maintenance across parks, transportation corridors, and environmental remediation sites. The recent solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies: county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) dominate the activity, with one city procurement (City of Dallas) and a focus on Florida jurisdictions reflecting the prevalence of coastal and subtropical landscaping work. The scope extends from simple plant supply purchases to comprehensive installation contracts that bundle species selection, site preparation, irrigation systems, monitoring, and multi-year maintenance obligations, often with native-plant and environmental-compliance requirements tied to coastal restoration, stormwater management, or invasive-species removal.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Florida and Georgia. DeKalb County (Georgia) issued ITB 2026-076-ITB on June 9, 2026, for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction, with bids due July 13, 2026—a mismatch to the bouvardias code that suggests tagging error rather than genuine plant procurement. More aligned are Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 (posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, valued at $120,000 and emphasizing Florida-licensed contractors and state compliance; Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (posted and due March 13, 2026) for 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet following 2024 hurricane damage, with line-item pricing and no specified budget ceiling; Pinellas County's RFP 250628RFP (posted February 26, 2026, due July 29, 2025) for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetlands and stormwater sites, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator credentials and including SBE participation thresholds; and City of Dallas IFS 215260 (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026) for plant purchase with new, unopened materials and FOB delivery pricing to a Dallas facility. Geographic concentration is concentrated in Florida counties with active coastal and environmental restoration programs and Georgia, though the small sample and the DeKalb mismatch limit conclusive trend characterization.
