UNSPSC 10216306: Live coccinea banksia

Live plant including the root ball of the coccinea variety of banksias

UNSPSC 10216306 Live coccinea banksia, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a specific ornamental plant species, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this classification span IT infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental mitigation and native plant installation, and generic plant procurement — none of which center on coccinea banksia specifically. State and local governments appear to use this code as a catch-all for horticultural and botanical services rather than as a narrow plant-species purchase category. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a major city (Dallas, Texas), with no standout repeat buyers emerging from the recent record. The geographic concentration falls heavily in Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the divergence between code intent and actual procurement. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 on March 13, 2026, for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road for 2.95 miles, with a response deadline of April 14, 2026 and a contract ceiling of $120,000. Collier County issued a Quick Quote solicitation on March 13, 2026, for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune following 2024 hurricane damage, with responses due the same day. Pinellas County released an RFP on February 26, 2026, for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services (2025–2030) covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and wetland management, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026, for generic plant purchase with delivery to a single Dallas address and a response deadline of February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal species focus and the actual scope of work being bought suggests procurement systems may be applying this code inconsistently or as a default label for botanical and landscape services broadly.
