UNSPSC 10216806: Live seafoam statice

Live plant including the root ball of the seafoam variety of statices

UNSPSC 10216806 Live seafoam statice, a Commodity code, describes ornamental flowering plants that state and local governments procure for landscaping, environmental restoration, and park beautification projects. Recent opportunities show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns. The Pasco County landscaping and irrigation project along Ridge Road called for trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species; the Collier County coastal dune restoration involved sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower; and the Pinellas County environmental planting contract encompassed 150 native plant species for wetlands and stormwater sites. The City of Dallas procurement for plants did not specify species or varieties. None of these opportunities explicitly named live seafoam statice as a required or specified plant material, suggesting the code sees limited direct activity or that jurisdictions are tagging broader landscaping and native plant procurement under this commodity rather than the specific ornamental. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county commissions (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), city procurement departments (Dallas), and county departments of innovation and technology, with county-level jurisdictions dominating recent postings.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, where three of five recent opportunities originated, reflecting climate-appropriate procurement for coastal restoration and stormwater management. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026, contract not to exceed $120,000) and the Collier County Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings (due March 13, 2026, approximately 56,250 native plants) represent substantial Florida-based environmental and infrastructure landscaping work. The Pinellas County RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (2025–2030 contract, released June 30, 2025, proposals due July 29, 2025) signals multi-year commitment to native plant and invasive species management at multiple sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond, Eagle Lake Park, and McKay Creek. Texas activity appears limited; the City of Dallas Informal Solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) provided minimal specification detail and no plant species naming. The code shows no recent activity outside Florida and Texas in the available opportunities block.
