UNSPSC 10216311: Live ericifolia banksia

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

UNSPSC 10216311 Live ericifolia banksia, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a single plant species, but recent opportunities posted under it reflect broader landscape installation, dune restoration, environmental planting, and general plant procurement — work that involves native plant selection, irrigation systems, coastal habitat stabilization, and invasive species management rather than ericifolia banksia specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas, Texas). The work ranges from specialized coastal dune planting following hurricane damage to comprehensive five-year environmental restoration contracts requiring wetland ecology expertise and State Certified Licensed Public Applicator credentials.

Recent opportunities span Florida (Pasco County Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation, Collier County dune plantings, Pinellas County environmental planting and monitoring), Georgia (DeKalb County tennis center reconstruction with IT and low-voltage infrastructure), and Texas (Dallas plant procurement). Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB KM26047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (2.95 miles, due April 14, 2026, contract ceiling $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune planting (due March 13, 2026, 56,250 native dune plants and coastal stabilization infrastructure), Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (five-year term 2025–2030, due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's IFS 215260 for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026). The code shows active recent posting but displays weak commodity coherence — the mismatch between the ericifolia banksia designation and the native plant / landscape / environmental restoration work actually being procured suggests either data-entry error in the source opportunities or significant scope drift in how this code is applied across jurisdictions.
