UNSPSC 10213612: Live red freesia

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

UNSPSC 10213612 Live red freesia, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under the opportunities recently tagged with this code. The five most recent solicitations—from DeKalb County (IT infrastructure reconstruction), Pasco County (roadside landscaping and irrigation), Collier County (coastal dune native plantings), Pinellas County (environmental restoration and invasive plant management), and the City of Dallas (general plant purchases)—span IT systems installation, large-scale landscape and irrigation design and build, coastal dune stabilization with native species, wetland and stormwater mitigation planting, and routine plant procurement for municipal operations. None of these activities align with the procurement or supply of live red freesia specifically. The code appears to be misapplied across a broad range of horticultural and environmental services that fall outside its narrow commodity definition.

The recent activity is concentrated in Florida jurisdictions—Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties, plus Pinellas County again for environmental services—with one municipal procurement from Texas (Dallas) and one from Georgia (DeKalb County). Because the code's nominal scope (live red freesia as a commodity product) bears no relationship to the work actually being solicited—which ranges from IT infrastructure to large dune restoration to invasive species management—state and local procurement activity under this code does not provide a reliable signal for pursuing freesia supply or related horticultural opportunities. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for the specific service categories in which they compete rather than rely on the tagging applied to these opportunities.
