UNSPSC 10214820: Live mini green hydrangea

Live plant including the root ball of the mini green variety of hydrangeas

UNSPSC 10214820 Live mini green hydrangea is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure landscape plant materials—primarily native and ornamental species—for grounds restoration, environmental remediation, and public infrastructure beautification projects. The recent solicitations show governments buying plants as part of larger landscaping and ecological restoration initiatives: Pasco County's Ridge Road median planting and irrigation project (IFB KM-26-047, response due April 14, 2026) specified trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species for 2.95 miles of roadway landscaping; Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project (Quick Quote process, response due March 13, 2026) procured approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower for coastal dune stabilization; Pinellas County's Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP (response due July 29, 2025) sought contractors to install native plants across wetlands and stormwater treatment sites; and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260, response due February 3, 2026) for general plant purchases. Issuing bodies include county governments (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb), municipalities (Dallas), and special-purpose environmental divisions. Projects range from tactical plant purchases to multi-year environmental restoration contracts with compliance requirements including E-Verify registration, professional licensure, and insurance certifications.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, which accounts for four of five recent opportunities: Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County all issued landscaping and environmental planting solicitations between February and April 2026, while DeKalb County, Georgia posted a tennis center reconstruction ITB (response due July 13, 2026) that included unrelated IT infrastructure scope, and Dallas, Texas issued a general plant purchase RFP. The Florida activity reflects demand driven by post-hurricane 2024 coastal restoration and ongoing stormwater and environmental mitigation projects. Procurement methods vary by project scope: larger multi-year environmental contracts use RFP or IFB with response cycles of 60–90 days; smaller tactical plant purchases use quick-quote or informal solicitation with compressed timelines of 3–7 days. Local vendor preference programs appear in some jurisdictions (Pasco County offers a local preference for bids under $1,000,000, though federal funding restrictions applied to the Ridge Road project). Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (contract ceiling $120,000) and Collier County's quick-quote for dune plant supply and installation with line-item pricing for individual species, posts, rope, and signage.
