UNSPSC 10217206: Live eryngium raspberry thistle

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

UNSPSC 10217206 Live eryngium raspberry thistle is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally identifies a single ornamental plant species, but the five recent opportunities posted under this code span IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, roadside landscaping and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration with native plants, environmental wetland and stormwater management services, and general plant procurement—none of which concern eryngium or thistle species specifically. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a misapplication of the code to broader vegetation and site-restoration work.

The recent opportunities originate from Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with responses due between February and July 2026. DeKalb County issued an ITB for IT infrastructure at its Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026); Pasco County issued an IFB for 2.95 miles of roadside landscaping and irrigation on Ridge Road with a contract ceiling of $120,000 (due April 14, 2026); Collier County solicited dune planting supply and installation via Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County issued an RFP for five-year environmental planting and wetland management services (due July 29, 2025); and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plant purchase (due February 3, 2026). The code's recent activity suggests a taxonomy problem rather than a meaningful procurement category for this specific commodity.
