UNSPSC 10217416: Live madonna waxflower

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

UNSPSC 10217416 Live madonna waxflower, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work documented in recent state and local procurement activity. The source shows no relevant solicitations for live madonna waxflower or any cut flowers, foliage, or ornamental plant materials matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span landscape and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental planting and monitoring, and generic plant procurement — none of which align with live flower supply. The mismatch suggests either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are being coded or a fundamental misclassification at the source level.

The recent opportunities do show activity from Florida county governments (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties) and one municipal procurement (City of Dallas), with work spanning roadside median landscaping and irrigation (Pasco County IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), native coastal dune plantings following hurricane damage (Collier County Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), a five-year environmental planting and monitoring contract with invasive species removal and native restoration (Pinellas County RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025), and a city plant purchase order (City of Dallas IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026). These solicitations demonstrate that state and local procurement in the plant-related space focuses on restoration ecology, erosion control, habitat remediation, and general landscaping supply — not the cut or potted flower market the code nominally describes. Given the classification disconnect, this code shows little utility for business development professionals targeting state and local opportunities in live flower supply.
