UNSPSC 10214103: Live green gladiolus

Live plant including the root ball of the green variety of gladioluses

UNSPSC 10214103 Live green gladiolus is a Commodity code that spans ornamental plant procurement and installation across state and local jurisdictions, though recent activity shows significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities block contains five records, but only two align with horticultural procurement: the City of Dallas posting an Informal Solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) and Pinellas County issuing a five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering invasive-species removal, native plant installation, and wetland and stormwater-pond restoration (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025). The remaining three records—DeKalb County's ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at a tennis center reconstruction, Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road, and Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune plantings—all involve landscape installation with irrigation or native species work but are misclassified under this gladiolus code. The issuing bodies represent county and city governments in Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) appearing more frequently in the recent block.

Geography concentrates in Florida, with three of the five opportunities originating from Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), one from Georgia (DeKalb County), and one from Texas (City of Dallas). The Dallas purchase represents straightforward consumable plant procurement via informal solicitation, while the Pinellas County environmental-services RFP is a large, multi-year landscape-management contract covering native species installation and invasive-species control across mitigation sites and wetland treatment areas. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026) budgets $120,000 and includes state-licensed nursery sourcing and one-year plant warranty. Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings—a post-hurricane coastal restoration project installing 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet (due March 13, 2026)—is the single genuinely horticultural procurement in the block. The mismatch between code name and actual solicitations suggests either misclassification in the source data or limited recent activity strictly within live-gladiolus procurement at the state and local level.
