UNSPSC 10214605: Live caribea yellow heliconia

Live plant including the root ball of the caribea yellow variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10214605 Live caribea yellow heliconia is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent opportunities involve broad landscaping and environmental restoration work — dune plantings, roadside median landscaping with irrigation, generic plant procurement for municipal use, and multi-year environmental remediation contracts encompassing native species installation, invasive species removal, and wetland monitoring. A single opportunity (City of Dallas, February 2026) is a generic plant purchase with no species specification, while the others name multiple native plant species installed as part of ecosystem restoration or infrastructure beautification projects, not the harvested live heliconia that the code describes. The issuing bodies span county governments (DeKalb County Georgia, Pasco County Florida, Collier County Florida, Pinellas County Florida) and a major city (Dallas), with no pattern of repeat buyers under this specific code. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned to its commodity definition.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties all posted landscape and environmental planting work in the first quarter of 2026) and touches Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (IFB KM-26-047, April 2026 response deadline, $120,000 contract cap) covering 2.95 miles of median and right-of-way planting with native species and irrigation system design, and Collier County's Pelican Bay dune plantings (Quick Quote QQ2026102, March 2026, nature-based coastal restoration with 56,250 native dune plants following hurricane damage). Pinellas County's five-year environmental services RFP (250628RFP, July 2025 response deadline, as-needed contract structure) sought firms for invasive species removal and native plant installation across multiple mitigation and wetland sites with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator requirements. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope signals that tagged opportunities may reflect broader landscape or environmental restoration categories rather than heliconia-specific sourcing.
