UNSPSC 10213207: Live red dianthus

Live plant including the root ball of the red variety of dianthuses

UNSPSC 10213207 Live red dianthus is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure ornamental flowering plants, primarily for landscape installation, environmental restoration, and public grounds maintenance. The recent solicitations show that the actual work purchased under this code spans native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower), general landscape plantings along roadsides and in parks, and environmental mitigation plantings—often as part of larger construction or restoration projects. Issuing bodies include county boards (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), municipal governments (City of Dallas), and county recreation departments (DeKalb County). The scope ranges from small plant purchases through informal procurement to multi-phase environmental restoration contracts spanning five years, with requirements for native plant sourcing, Florida Department of Agriculture grade standards where applicable, and compliance with coastal environmental and stormwater regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where coastal restoration and stormwater management programs drive demand. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026) with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and specifications for native tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover installation; Collier County solicited bids for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project (posted and due March 13, 2026) covering approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet; and Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (posted February 26, 2026, due July 29, 2025) including native plant installation and invasive species removal at multiple sites. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for a general plant purchase (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026). Florida dominates recent procurement activity under this code, with Texas represented by the Dallas purchase. Competition typically centers on lowest responsive and responsible bid; Pasco County's local vendor preference program does not apply due to state and federal funding involvement in that project.
