UNSPSC 10216001: Live ornamental chili pepper

Live plant including the root ball of the ornamental chili pepper flowers

UNSPSC 10216001 Live ornamental chili pepper is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The five most-recent opportunities tagged to this code—a DeKalb County, Georgia tennis center IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction; a Pasco County, Florida landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road; a Collier County, Florida coastal dune restoration with native plant installation; a Pinellas County, Florida environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance contract; and a Dallas, Texas general plants purchase—concern landscape construction, native dune vegetation, invasive species removal, and unspecified plant supplies. None of these solicitations reference ornamental chili peppers or any culinary or ornamental pepper products. The code appears to carry no meaningful recent activity in state and local government procurement within its intended commodity scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties) with secondary activity in Georgia and Texas, driven primarily by environmental restoration and general landscape procurement rather than ornamental pepper supply. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, a city purchasing office, and county departments. No representative opportunities directly match the live ornamental chili pepper category; the mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or dormant procurement activity under this code. Firms evaluating pursuit under 10216001 should verify actual buying patterns through direct outreach to state and local horticultural, parks, and facilities management offices, as the recent opportunity record does not support active demand for ornamental pepper products at the state and local level.
