UNSPSC 10212804: Live cockscomb purple celosia

Live plant including the root ball of the cockscomb purple variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10212804 Live cockscomb purple celosia, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this designation by state and local agencies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve large-scale landscaping, irrigation, dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and general plant procurement — none of which center on live cockscomb purple celosia as a distinct product line. The mismatch between the code's narrow botanical specification and the breadth of landscaping and environmental-restoration work appearing in recent solicitations suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are being tagged or a code designation that does not align with current state and local procurement practice for horticultural services.

The recent activity spans Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (Dallas), with issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, county innovation and technology departments, and city procurement offices. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026); Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings with native species including sea oats and dune sunflower (posted and due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025); and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants (due February 3, 2026). If your firm pursues horticultural services at the scale and complexity these opportunities represent, examine whether a higher-tier Family or Class code better captures the landscape construction, site restoration, or environmental services you deliver rather than relying on this Commodity designation.
