UNSPSC 10216410: Live red ranunculus

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

UNSPSC 10216410 Live red ranunculus is a Commodity code that describes ornamental flowering plants for landscape installation and maintenance; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with live red ranunculus procurement. The handful of recent solicitations reflect broader landscape and environmental planting work — coastal dune restoration using native species, median and right-of-way landscaping with mixed plantings, environmental remediation across wetlands and stormwater sites, and general plant purchases — rather than specific demand for ranunculus as a cut or potted flower product. State and local buyers using this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida), and municipal entities (the City of Dallas), typically issuing through ITB, IFB, RFP, and informal solicitation formats for landscape construction, environmental restoration contracts, and ongoing vegetation maintenance.

The recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Pasco County issued an IFB on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, a 2.95-mile project with a $120,000 contract cap; Collier County issued a Quick Quote solicitation on March 13, 2026 (due the same day) for 56,250 native dune plants as part of coastal dune stabilization following 2024 hurricane damage; Pinellas County released an RFP on February 26, 2026 (due July 29, 2025, a date error in the source) for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across a five-year term; and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation on January 28, 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for general plant purchases delivered to a single address. The code shows sporadic, project-specific demand driven by municipal infrastructure work, environmental restoration initiatives, and seasonal planting programs rather than sustained or high-volume procurement activity. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work — which emphasizes native species, environmental compliance, and landscape installation rather than ornamental ranunculus — suggests the code may not reflect current buying patterns under this taxonomy.
