UNSPSC 10214104: Live hot pink gladiolus

Live plant including the root ball of the hot pink variety of gladioluses

UNSPSC 10214104 Live hot pink gladiolus is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show a divergence between the code's name and the actual work being procured. Recent opportunities posted under this code span landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration using native vegetation, environmental mitigation planting and monitoring, and general plant procurement—none of which specifically concern live hot pink gladiolus. The code appears to be used as a catch-all tag for general horticultural and landscape work rather than as a precise botanical identifier. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal authorities (City of Dallas, Texas), reflecting demand from parks and public works departments, environmental and natural resources divisions, and general city procurement offices for landscape maintenance, dune stabilization, invasive species removal, and native plant restoration.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and extends to Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524), due April 14, 2026, with a contract price not to exceed $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune following 2024 hurricane damage, with bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year Request for Proposal for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting and maintenance services covering invasive species removal and native plant installation at multiple sites, due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for general plant purchase, due February 3, 2026. The code shows consistent activity across small to moderate-dollar projects in local parks, environmental mitigation areas, and right-of-way improvements, driven primarily by post-hurricane landscape restoration and routine municipal grounds maintenance.
