UNSPSC 10216200: Live peonies

Live plants including the root ball of peony

UNSPSC 10216200 Live peonies, a Class code, does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a single ornamental plant species, yet the opportunities posted against it span landscaping installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental planting and invasive species management, IT infrastructure construction, and generic plant procurement — none of which center on peonies or align with the code's narrow commodity scope. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems that applied the code or a systematic misclassification of landscape and horticultural work across jurisdictional databases. The code shows little relevant recent activity when interpreted literally.

The recent opportunities appearing under this code originate from Florida county governments (Pasco County Board of County Commissioners, Collier County, Pinellas County), a Georgia county (DeKalb County), and the City of Dallas, Texas, with solicitation types including ITB, IFB, Quick Quote, RFP, and Informal Solicitation. Representative procurements include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract not-to-exceed of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune restoration plantings (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting and invasive species management services (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for generic plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). The geographic spread centers on Florida, with limited activity in Texas and Georgia. Vendors pursuing work in this code space should verify the actual UNSPSC classification assigned to their target solicitation before investing bid development effort, as the code-to-opportunity mapping appears unreliable.
