UNSPSC 10213007: Live purple dahlia

Live plant including the root ball of the purple variety of dahlias

UNSPSC 10213007 Live purple dahlia is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of ornamental plants for landscaping, dune restoration, environmental mitigation, and general municipal grounds maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local governments sourcing live plant material—dahlias, native dune species, invasive plant removal with native replanting, and general grounds plants—through a mix of formal and informal competitive processes. The issuing bodies span Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), Georgia counties (DeKalb), and major cities (Dallas), reflecting activity across multiple jurisdictional types including county boards of commissioners, county departments, and city procurement offices. The scope of work ranges from routine municipal plant procurement to specialized environmental restoration: Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project (Quick Quote informal procurement, March 2026) called for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune; Pinellas County's Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP (due July 29, 2025) seeks five-year comprehensive management including invasive plant removal and native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater treatment sites; and Pasco County's Landscape and Irrigation Plans for Ridge Road IFB (due April 14, 2026) specified installation of trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover to Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards across 15 medians along a 2.95-mile corridor.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties), with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (City of Dallas). The Dallas City purchase of plants IFS 215260 (due February 3, 2026) represents routine municipal procurement with minimal scope detail, while the three Florida county projects—coastal dune restoration, roadway landscaping with irrigation, and environmental site mitigation—signal sustained demand for both commodity plant supply and specialized installation labor. Issuing bodies appear to be repeat purchasers within their jurisdictions; Pinellas County's five-year environmental contract structure and the multi-zone, large-scale planting projects suggest multi-year or framework-style engagements are common in this space. Set-asides and local preferences appear occasionally (Pasco County's local vendor preference program; Pinellas County's SBE work-assignment threshold of $100,000), though state or federal funding on some projects can disqualify local-preference provisions.
