UNSPSC 10217401: Live alba waxflower

Live plant including the root ball of the alba variety of waxflowers

UNSPSC 10217401 Live alba waxflower is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader landscape of ornamental and environmental planting work than its narrow name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchases of native plant material for coastal dune restoration, wetland mitigation, stormwater pond stabilization, and general municipal landscaping projects. The issuing bodies are diverse — county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida), municipalities (the City of Dallas), and special-purpose districts. Counties appear to dominate recent activity, particularly in Florida, where environmental restoration and coastal resilience work has driven multiple concurrent solicitations.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Florida, which accounts for at least four of the five recent opportunities. Florida counties are executing substantial multi-year environmental restoration contracts alongside ad-hoc landscape and irrigation projects; Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting RFP and Collier County's dune restoration Quick Quote reflect the state's intensive focus on coastal and wetland mitigation. A single outlier appears in Texas — the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for general plant purchases in January 2026 with a February 3 response date. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) over 2.95 miles with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and an April 14, 2026 response date; Collier County's Quick Quote for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) across approximately 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune, due March 13, 2026; and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services at wetlands and stormwater sites with a July 29, 2025 deadline and SBE set-aside provisions at $100,000 work-assignment threshold.
