UNSPSC 10214110: Live red bi color gladiolus

Live plant including the root ball of the red bi color variety of gladioluses

UNSPSC 10214110 Live red bi color gladiolus is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with actual procurement activity under this classification. The five recent opportunities posted under or near this code span IT infrastructure reconstruction, landscape and irrigation installation, coastal dune plant restoration, environmental wetland and stormwater management services, and general municipal plant purchases — none of which involve red bi-color gladiolus or cut-flower procurement in the traditional sense. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the state and local procurement databases reviewed, with plant-related opportunities tagged to nursery stock, site landscaping, ecological restoration, and maintenance services rather than ornamental florals.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities represent a mix of county governments and municipalities in Florida and Texas — DeKalb County (Georgia), Pasco County (Florida), Collier County (Florida), Pinellas County (Florida), and the City of Dallas (Texas) — suggesting that when plant-procurement codes are used in state and local systems, they tend to capture landscape contractors, environmental restoration vendors, and general suppliers rather than horticultural specialty vendors. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026) called for installation of trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover across 15 medians; Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings (March 13, 2026) specified 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and railroad vine; Pinellas County's RFP for environmental services (due July 29, 2025) targeted invasive removal and native plant installation across mitigation and wetland sites; and the City of Dallas informal solicitation (due February 3, 2026) sought generic plant purchases with no species specified. The code shows little relevant recent activity for live cut-flower vendors and should be considered a low-priority pursuit path for firms in the florals supply chain.
