UNSPSC 10217107: Live purple sweet pea

Live plant including the root ball of the purple variety of sweet pea flowers

UNSPSC 10217107 Live purple sweet pea is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The five opportunities posted since January 2026 span environmental restoration, coastal dune stabilization, landscaping and irrigation installation, IT infrastructure, and generic plant procurement—none of which target live purple sweet pea specifically. The issuing bodies include county commissions (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city parks department (City of Dallas, Texas). The work being bought ranges from large-scale landscape and irrigation projects (Pasco County's Ridge Road installation, $120,000 total contract price) to specialized coastal dune restoration (Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, a quick-quote procurement for 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune sunflower), to multiyear environmental services contracts (Pinellas County's five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services contract through 2030, with pricing structured on labor rates for field technicians and environmental scientists). The DeKalb County opportunity, despite being tagged to this code, is actually an ITB for IT and low voltage infrastructure installation at a tennis center—plainly unrelated to plant procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (four of five recent opportunities: Pasco, Collier, Pinellas counties, and the City of Dallas in Texas). The code shows no clear recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity—live purple sweet pea does not appear in any of the five solicitations. The plant procurement examples posted involve native dune species, landscape and irrigation systems, and unspecified plants for city use, rather than ornamental sweet pea. This code does not appear to capture a meaningful category of state and local procurement activity in its current form; the mismatch between the code designation and actual buying patterns suggests either persistent tagging errors in the source jurisdictions or that this particular UNSPSC commodity is rarely if ever solicited by state and local bodies.
