UNSPSC 10213901: Live cream black center gerbera

Live plant including the root ball of the cream black center variety of gerberas

UNSPSC 10213901 Live cream black center gerbera is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of ornamental flowers or horticultural products; instead, they span unrelated categories including IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction, landscape and irrigation installation along roadways, coastal dune restoration using native plants, environmental site remediation and monitoring services, and general plant material procurement without species specificity. The single solicitation that approaches floriculture — the City of Dallas plant purchase IFS 215260 in January 2026 — requests only that "all plants be new, unopened, and in original packaging" with "no alternatives or substitutes accepted," but does not specify gerbera or any ornamental variety, leaving the actual commodity ambiguous.

The issuing bodies span county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida), a municipal government (City of Dallas), and represent environmental restoration, infrastructure, and general operations procurement. Geographic concentration appears in Florida, with four of five recent opportunities originating there, while one opportunity originates in Georgia and one in Texas. The mismatch between the code's ornamental-flower designation and the practical scope of posted solicitations suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities or sees minimal legitimate activity for live cream black center gerbera specifically. A business development professional should treat this code as showing no reliable recent activity for its stated commodity and verify directly with issuing bodies whether they intend to solicit gerbera purchases separately or through alternative code assignments.
