UNSPSC 10213606: Live lavender freesia

Live plant including the root ball of the lavender variety of freesias

UNSPSC 10213606 Live lavender freesia is a Commodity code that covers the supply of fresh ornamental plant material for landscaping, restoration, and municipal beautification work. State and local governments buy cut lavender freesia and similar fresh floral stock for use in public grounds maintenance, park improvements, and special events. The issuing bodies span city parks departments, county environmental and public works divisions, and special-purpose service districts. Recent solicitations show that the code is primarily used as a catch-all tag for broader landscaping and environmental planting work rather than for freesia specifically — the actual work being procured ranges from coastal dune restoration with native plants to comprehensive landscape and irrigation installation on roadways to multi-year environmental monitoring and remediation contracts.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Florida, with multiple counties and municipalities issuing solicitations in early 2026: Collier County (Pelican Bay dune planting, March 2026), Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, April 2026), and Pinellas County (five-year environmental planting and monitoring, July 2025). Activity also appears in Georgia, with DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction (July 2026), and Texas, with the City of Dallas issuing an informal solicitation for plants (February 2026). The representative recent opportunities show a disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement: Collier County's coastal dune stabilization project is native species-focused and included approximately 56,250 dune plants; Pasco County's Ridge Road work spans 2.95 miles of median and right-of-way landscaping with irrigation systems; and Pinellas County's RFP covers invasive plant removal, native installation, monitoring, and maintenance across multiple sites over five years. None of these solicitations specifically target lavender freesia, suggesting the code is misapplied to broader environmental and landscape services in state and local procurement databases.
