UNSPSC 10216402: Live elegance ranunculus

Live plant including the root ball of the elegance variety of ranunculuses

UNSPSC 10216402 Live elegance ranunculus is a Commodity code covering specific ornamental plant species procured by state and local governments for landscaping, environmental restoration, and grounds maintenance projects. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reveal significant scope mismatch: the code nominally identifies a single plant variety, yet the solicitations being posted under it span broad landscaping and irrigation installation, native plant restoration, dune stabilization, and general plant procurement with no consistent focus on ranunculus. The work actually being solicited includes supply and installation of diverse native and ornamental species, irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration with sea oats and native groundcover, invasive species removal, and environmental monitoring across wetlands and stormwater facilities. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal governments (City of Dallas, Texas), spanning public works, parks and recreation, environmental management, and facilities departments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with the most recent solicitations posted in the first and second quarters of 2026. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, a 2.95-mile corridor project with a contract not-to-exceed of $120,000, due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings, a coastal restoration project involving approximately 56,250 native plants and 4,500 linear feet of dune fencing, due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetlands and stormwater sites, with SBE participation thresholds of $100,000, due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases, due February 3, 2026. The code shows activity but exhibits poor alignment between the taxonomy label and actual procurement scope, suggesting either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy entry that no longer reflects current purchasing patterns.
