UNSPSC 10214112: Live salmon gladiolus

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

UNSPSC 10214112 Live salmon gladiolus (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers ornamental flowering plants, but the opportunities posted under it involve IT infrastructure installation, landscape and irrigation construction, coastal dune restoration, environmental remediation services, and general plant purchasing—none of which involves salmon gladiolus as a procurement line item. DeKalb County's June 2026 ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center centers on information technology and low-voltage infrastructure systems rather than plant material, while Pasco County's April 2026 IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation ($120,000.00 contract ceiling) specifies trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover but does not name salmon gladiolus. Collier County's March 2026 Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings focuses on native dune species including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower totaling approximately 56,250 plants, with no mention of gladiolus. Pinellas County's February 2026 RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (2025–2030) emphasizes invasive species removal and native plant installation but does not reference gladiolus. The City of Dallas's January 2026 Informal Solicitation for plant purchases does not specify plant types or varieties.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests the code carries little relevant procurement signal for gladiolus suppliers. Recent activity in this UNSPSC category appears to reflect miscoding or system classification errors rather than substantive market demand for salmon gladiolus in state and local government. Firms pursuing opportunities in ornamental horticulture, landscape installation, or native plant restoration should verify the UNSPSC codes on published solicitations before targeting bids, as the code's recent use does not correlate with its stated commodity.
