UNSPSC 10217205: Live eryngium orion thistle

Live plant including the root ball of the eryngium orion variety of thistles

UNSPSC 10217205 Live eryngium orion thistle is a Commodity code that encompasses supply and installation of native and ornamental plant materials for landscaping, dune restoration, environmental mitigation, and infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure living plants under this code through a mix of direct purchase and installed-landscape contracts. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities buying plants either as standalone supplies for immediate deployment or as part of comprehensive site restoration projects that include planting labor, site preparation, maintenance, and regulatory compliance. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement offices, and specialized environmental or parks divisions. DeKalb County Department of Innovation and Technology, Pasco County Board of County Commissioners, Collier County, Pinellas County, and the City of Dallas all posted opportunities under or aligned with this code within the first half of 2026, suggesting steady activity across municipal and county procurement channels.

Geographic activity centers on Florida—Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties all issued landscaping and dune-restoration solicitations between February and March 2026—with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County, June 2026) and Texas (City of Dallas, January 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road, a 2.95-mile roadway project with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and a response deadline of April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings, a coastal restoration project requiring supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native plants across 225,000 square feet with a March 13, 2026 response date; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for a direct purchase of plants with a February 3, 2026 deadline. All three Florida county opportunities emphasize native species, environmental permits, E-Verify compliance, and insurance requirements. No federal set-asides were identified across the recent solicitations, though Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting contract includes SBE participation thresholds of $100,000 per work assignment.
