UNSPSC 10216602: Live purple scotch broom

Live plant including the root ball of the purple variety of scotch broom

UNSPSC 10216602 Live purple scotch broom, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code are predominantly for landscaping installation, native plant restoration, environmental monitoring, and general plant procurement — scopes that bear no connection to purple scotch broom, an invasive species rarely purchased by public bodies for installation purposes. The DeKalb County ITB for tennis center reconstruction focuses on IT and low-voltage infrastructure systems; the Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road addresses irrigation system design and installation with specified native shrub and tree species; Collier County's Quick Quote solicitation targets coastal dune stabilization using sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower; Pinellas County's RFP seeks invasive and exotic plant removal paired with native plant installation and environmental monitoring; and the City of Dallas informal solicitation requests general plants for purchase without species specification. None of these scopes involve procurement of live scotch broom stock for landscaping or restoration work.

The issuing bodies span county-level environmental and parks departments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and city government (Dallas), with a geographic concentration in Florida counties undertaking coastal restoration and stormwater pond maintenance. Recent activity dates from January through July 2026, with the Pasco County IFB capped at $120,000 and notice types including ITB, IFB, RFP, and informal solicitation. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a signal of active procurement demand. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local opportunity pursuit pending evidence of actual purple scotch broom purchasing activity.
