UNSPSC 10216500: Live scabiosas

Live plants including the root ball of scabiosas

UNSPSC 10216500 Live scabiosas is a Class code that spans ornamental flowering plants and landscape material procurement, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity disconnected from the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted include IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center, roadway landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration using native plants, environmental planting and invasive species management services across wetlands and stormwater sites, and generic plant purchases — a mix that reflects either misclassification or a broad taxonomy mapping that does not consistently align scabiosa-specific procurement with the code itself. State and local issuing bodies pursuing work tagged under this code include counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), a city (Dallas, Texas), and their various operational divisions, with no single repeat buyer emerging strongly across the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, where Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have posted landscaping, dune restoration, and environmental management solicitations in early 2026, alongside isolated activity in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) extending 2.95 miles with a contract cap of $120,000.00 and bids due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote solicitation for supply and installation of native dune plants across approximately 225,000 square feet of coastal dune area, with responses due March 13, 2026; and Pinellas County's Request for Proposal for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple mitigation and wetland sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The code shows material recent activity, though the mismatch between the nominal commodity (live scabiosas) and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests significant classification drift or reclassification risk in ongoing procurement cycles.
