UNSPSC 10216603: Live white scotch broom

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

UNSPSC 10216603 Live white scotch broom is a Commodity code that describes procurement of live ornamental shrubs and ground covers. State and local opportunities under this code show no alignment with the nominal code scope; the recent opportunities posted show landscaping and dune restoration work involving mixed native plant species (sea oats, dune sunflower, railroad vine, sea purslane), environmental planting and invasive species removal across wetlands and stormwater facilities, general plant purchases for municipal use, and IT infrastructure installation — none of which specifically targets scotch broom supply. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include counties (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and cities (City of Dallas), reflecting a mix of environmental management and municipal grounds maintenance activity. The code shows little relevant recent activity relative to its nominal commodity scope.

The most recent opportunities span Florida and Texas, with four of five postings from Florida counties pursuing coastal dune restoration, roadway landscaping, and environmental site management between January and June 2026. Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB (due April 14, 2026) specified native shrub and groundcover installation across 2.95 miles at a contract cap of $120,000. Collier County's Pelican Bay dune planting solicitation (due March 13, 2026) sought approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet of coastal restoration. Pinellas County issued an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025) covering native plant installation and invasive species removal at multiple wetland and stormwater sites, with Small Business Enterprise participation provisions. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for mixed plant purchases (due February 3, 2026) without species specification. The code's recent activity reflects state and local focus on environmental restoration and invasive plant management rather than wholesale scotch broom procurement, signaling either a mismatch in code assignment or minimal current demand for the specific commodity named.
