UNSPSC 10214603: Live bihai lobster claw heliconia

Live plant including the root ball of the bihai lobster claw variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10214603 Live bihai lobster claw heliconia is a Commodity code that nominally identifies cut tropical flowering foliage. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the commodity's scope. The five most recent state and local solicitations—from DeKalb County (Georgia), Pasco County (Florida), Collier County (Florida), Pinellas County (Florida), and the City of Dallas (Texas)—cover IT infrastructure installation, landscape and irrigation design and installation along a roadway corridor, coastal dune restoration using native plants, environmental planting and invasive species removal services, and a general plant-purchase RFQ. Only the City of Dallas opportunity involves a straightforward goods procurement for plants, and that solicitation does not specify heliconia or any particular tropical species. The remaining four opportunities are either unrelated to the code (IT infrastructure) or involve large-scale ecological restoration and landscape installation work that goes well beyond cut-flower procurement.

The issuing bodies are predominantly Florida counties—Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas—with supplementary activity from DeKalb County (Georgia) and Dallas (Texas). The geographic spread reflects concentration in Florida's Gulf Coast region, with secondary activity in Georgia and Texas. None of the recent opportunities explicitly reference live heliconia claw flowers as a deliverable or input material. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for heliconia supply or similar cut tropical foliage within state and local jurisdictions.
