UNSPSC 10216502: Live black scabiosa

Live plant including the root ball of the black variety of scabiosas

UNSPSC 10216502 Live black scabiosa is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and installation of live flowering plants, particularly native and ornamental species, for landscaping, restoration, and environmental projects undertaken by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying live plants primarily for coastal dune stabilization, roadway median beautification, environmental remediation, and general municipal grounds maintenance. The work spans supply of plant materials (often from licensed nurseries meeting grade standards), site preparation, installation at specified spacing and depths, initial establishment care including watering and soil amendment, and in some cases ongoing maintenance and monitoring through warranty periods. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), city procurement offices (City of Dallas), and county departments managing parks and natural resources (DeKalb County). No state-level single repeat buyer emerges prominently in recent activity, though Florida counties dominate the recent opportunities block.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Florida, where Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have posted landscaping and environmental planting solicitations between January and April 2026. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 in March 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including supply and installation of trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species meeting Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards, with a contract ceiling of $120,000. Collier County posted a Quick Quote informal procurement in March 2026 (due March 13, 2026) for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower for coastal dune stabilization at Pelican Bay. Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 (due July 29, 2025) for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetlands and stormwater treatment sites. The City of Dallas posted a lower-value informal solicitation in January 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for general plant purchase with delivery to a municipal facility. Geographic spread includes Florida (three counties with active solicitations), Texas (Dallas), and Georgia (DeKalb County referenced in a tangential infrastructure notice), with the strongest concentration in Florida coastal counties pursuing environmental restoration and stormwater management planting work.
