UNSPSC 10214612: Live richmond red heliconia

Live plant including the root ball of the richmond red variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10214612 Live Richmond Red Heliconia is a Commodity code that covers the supply of live ornamental plants, specifically heliconia varieties. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment; the five most-recent opportunities posted across Florida, Georgia, and Texas between January and June 2026 involve landscaping and irrigation installation, native dune plantings, environmental restoration, and generic plant procurement — none of which explicitly name heliconia or other tropical ornamental specimens as the primary deliverable. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for the Purchase of Plants under IFS 215260, requiring new, unopened items in original packaging with no substitutes accepted and FOB delivery to a Dallas facility, but the solicitation documents do not specify plant species or varieties. Pasco County issued an IFB on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, calling for native Florida species including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover meeting Grade Number 1 standards — work more aligned with horticultural installation than heliconia supply. Collier County and Pinellas County both solicited native dune and wetland restoration services focused on sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflowers rather than tropical ornamentals.

The code shows little recent activity directly matching live heliconia procurement. Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county commissioners (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb), a city parks or facilities department (Dallas), and county environmental or public works divisions. The geographic spread covers Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), Georgia (DeKalb), and Texas (Dallas). If heliconia procurement occurs under this code, it would likely emerge through municipal landscape contracts, municipal beautification initiatives, or county park development — channels that do not appear prominently in the current recent-opportunity record. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the native-plant and infrastructure-focused solicitations posted suggests either that heliconia supply is being sourced through different codes or that demand for live ornamental heliconia under state and local procurement remains limited or episodic.
