UNSPSC 10214808: Live dark blue hydrangea

Live plant including the root ball of the dark blue variety of hydrangeas

UNSPSC 10214808 Live dark blue hydrangea is a Commodity code that captures ornamental plant procurement and installation services for landscaping, environmental restoration, and site beautification projects. State and local governments use this code to solicit supply and installation of specific plant species—in recent opportunities, live hydrangeas and native dune plants, trees, shrubs, and groundcover species—for highway median beautification, coastal dune stabilization, wetland and stormwater restoration, and municipal park projects. The work spans materials procurement, site preparation, planting labor, initial establishment care (watering, hydrogel amendment), and in some cases monitoring and maintenance over contract periods of one to five years. Issuing bodies include county departments of transportation and environmental services, municipal parks and recreation divisions, coastal resource management offices, and city procurement departments across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with both one-time purchases and indefinite multi-year service contracts.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Florida, with three of four solicitations posted by Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026 at $120,000), Collier County (Pelican Bay dune plantings, Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (environmental planting and maintenance services 2025–2030, RFP, due July 29, 2025). A fourth opportunity from DeKalb County, Georgia (Mason Mill Park tennis center reconstruction, ITB 2026-076, due July 13, 2026) addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than landscaping—a code mismatch suggesting minimal substantive activity under this Commodity code in that jurisdiction. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plant purchase (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) with no species or landscape context specified. The Florida opportunities emphasize compliance with state licensing, E-Verify enrollment, native species sourcing, environmental permitting, and coastal protection statutes; several include local vendor preference programs or SBE set-asides. Overall, the code shows active procurement in Florida coastal and municipal contexts with episodic activity in other states.
