UNSPSC 10216002: Live ornamental mixed pepper

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

UNSPSC 10216002 Live ornamental mixed pepper is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not reflect purchase of live ornamental mixed pepper or related horticultural commodities. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code involve IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a tennis facility (DeKalb County, Georgia, ITB, July 2026), landscaping and irrigation system installation along a county roadway (Pasco County, Florida, IFB, April 2026), coastal dune restoration with native plantings (Collier County, Florida, Quick Quote, March 2026), environmental planting and monitoring services over a five-year term (Pinellas County, Florida, RFP, July 2025), and purchase of generic plants with no species specificity (City of Dallas, Texas, IFS, February 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the work actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error at the source level. No recent opportunities soliciting live ornamental mixed pepper or comparable specialty horticultural products appear in the block.

The geographic spread of the coded opportunities is concentrated in Florida (three of five: Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties) and extends to Georgia and Texas, but the diversity of work types—infrastructure, general landscaping, coastal ecology, environmental services, and unspecified plants—does not support a meaningful characterization of state and local demand for the commodity as named. The issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, a county department of innovation and technology, and a city procurement office, but the lack of coherent commodity alignment across these solicitations indicates that this code either receives minimal legitimate activity or experiences persistent miscoding that obscures any underlying market signal.
