UNSPSC 10213500: Live euphorbias

Live plants including the root ball of euphorbias

UNSPSC 10213500 Live euphorbias is a Class code that encompasses state and local procurement of ornamental plants, particularly native and specialized species for landscaping, restoration, and environmental projects. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying live plant material for coastal dune stabilization, roadway median beautification, wetland and stormwater mitigation, and general municipal landscaping. The scope spans supply and installation of specified plant species at particular densities, including preparatory site work, initial establishment care such as watering and hydrogel application, and compliance with environmental permitting requirements. Issuing bodies include county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County in Georgia) and municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas), with counties representing the dominant buyer segment. Counties are pursuing both one-time landscape installations and multi-year environmental management contracts that bundle plant supply with invasive species removal, monitoring, and regulatory reporting.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, where coastal dune restoration and stormwater management projects dominate recent solicitations, alongside Texas and Georgia activity. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, $120,000 contract cap), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings featuring 56,250 native dune plants and erosion-control infrastructure (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning five years with SBE participation provisions (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). Qualifications commonly required include State Certified Licensed Public Applicator credentials, Florida-licensed nursery sourcing, E-Verify enrollment, and substantial insurance coverage. Bid cycles are typically short (one to four weeks), and pricing is frequently structured on a line-item basis with firm pricing periods of 30 to 90 days.
