UNSPSC 10214109: Live purple gladiolus

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

UNSPSC 10214109 Live purple gladiolus is a Commodity code that represents ornamental plant procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect gladiolus sales. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad landscaping and environmental restoration work — coastal dune stabilization, roadside median plantings, invasive species removal paired with native plant installation, and general plant procurement for municipal facilities. State and local governments buying under this code include county transportation and parks departments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County), county environmental services divisions (Pinellas County), and city procurement offices (Dallas). The work spans supply-only plant purchases, design-build landscaping and irrigation installation, and multi-year environmental planting and maintenance contracts that bundle species removal, native restoration, monitoring, and compliance reporting.

The most recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and Georgia (DeKalb County), with one Dallas procurement. Pasco County issued an IFB in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road extending 2.95 miles, including furnishing and installing trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover at Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and responses due April 14, 2026. Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote in March 2026 for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across a coastal dune restoration project, with responses due March 13, 2026. Pinellas County released an RFP in June 2025 for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services across a five-year period covering wetlands and stormwater treatment ponds, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for plant purchases with a due date of February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the code name (live purple gladiolus) and the scope of recent solicitations suggests the code may have been applied broadly to landscaping and plant-related work without precision to specific species.
