UNSPSC 10216004: Live ornamental red pepper

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

UNSPSC 10216004 Live ornamental red pepper is a Commodity code that covers the supply of live ornamental peppers for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and environmental restoration projects. Recent state and local solicitations under this code, however, show minimal direct procurement of live red peppers; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code predominantly reflect broader landscape installation and native plant restoration work. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal authorities (City of Dallas, Texas), with the most active buyers in Florida counties undertaking coastal dune restoration and environmental mitigation initiatives. Work scopes include supply and installation of native dune plants for coastal stabilization, invasive plant removal paired with native species installation for wetland and stormwater pond restoration, general landscape and irrigation installation along roadway corridors, and routine plant procurement for municipal grounds maintenance.

Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Florida, with Pasco County issuing an IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a contract not-to-exceed of $120,000 and a response deadline of April 14, 2026; Collier County posting a Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings requiring supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants with a due date of March 13, 2026; and Pinellas County releasing an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services spanning 2025 to 2030 with responses due July 29, 2025. DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center with an IT and low voltage infrastructure focus, due July 13, 2026, and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plant purchase with a February 3, 2026 deadline. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with live ornamental red pepper procurement; the majority of tagged opportunities address native plant restoration, dune stabilization, and landscape installation where ornamental peppers, if purchased at all, would represent incidental line items rather than primary scope drivers.
