UNSPSC 10214503: Live french heather

Live plant including the root ball of the french variety of heathers

UNSPSC 10214503 Live french heather is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single ornamental plant species, yet recent state and local activity shows the code being applied to broader landscape installation, dune restoration, and environmental planting projects that span multiple native and ornamental plant species, irrigation systems, and associated site work. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), a city government (Dallas), and a county department (DeKalb County), collectively procuring landscaping and environmental restoration services across Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Work being solicited ranges from small purchase orders for generic plant stock to large multi-year environmental management contracts; the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for a one-time purchase of plants with a one-year warranty, while Pinellas County sought a five-year RFP for invasive plant removal, native plant installation, monitoring, and reporting across multiple sites, and Pasco County and Collier County issued IFBs for landscaping and irrigation installation and coastal dune restoration using native species respectively.

The most recent activity concentrates in Florida, with three of five posted opportunities originating from Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, April 14, 2026 due date), Collier County (Pelican Bay dune planting, March 13, 2026 due date), and Pinellas County (environmental planting and maintenance, July 29, 2025 due date—now superseded). Pinellas County's contract contemplates five years with potential two-year extension and includes SBE work assignment thresholds at $100,000. Collier County's dune planting project specifies approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) installed at 24-inch centers across 4,500 linear feet of coastline with performance bonding and E-Verify compliance required. The code's application appears misaligned with its nominal scope; recent solicitations name live french heather in title only while purchasing landscape construction, environmental restoration, and plant material procurement that spans multiple species and services. Geographic spread is limited to Florida and scattered activity in Georgia and Texas, with no evidence of national distribution under this code designation.
