UNSPSC 10212805: Live cockscomb red celosia

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

UNSPSC 10212805 Live cockscomb red celosia is a Commodity code that captures ornamental plant material purchased by state and local governments for landscaping, restoration, and grounds maintenance projects. However, the recent solicitation activity recorded under this code does not reflect purchases of live cockscomb red celosia specifically. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments procuring a broad mix of native and non-native plant materials—including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower, trees, shrubs, palms, groundcover species, and unspecified ornamental plants—as part of larger landscaping, dune restoration, environmental remediation, and infrastructure-related planting projects. The issuing bodies span counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and cities (Dallas, Texas), reflecting activity across municipal and county procurement offices rather than school districts or transit authorities.

Recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (2.95 miles) with a contract not to exceed $120,000, due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings comprising approximately 56,250 native plants across 225,000 square feet, due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple sites including wetlands and stormwater ponds, with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchases due February 3, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (four of five opportunities) and Texas, with projects ranging from coastal dune stabilization to roadside median landscaping to general municipal grounds maintenance. The code shows active procurement but limited recent evidence of live cockscomb red celosia specifically; the actual buying under this code category appears heavily weighted toward native dune species, trees, shrubs, and other ornamental and ecological restoration materials rather than the celosia variety the code name specifies.
