UNSPSC 10217418: Live orange waxflower

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

UNSPSC 10217418 Live orange waxflower is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but state and local procurement activity under this code spans a much broader range of landscape planting, dune restoration, environmental remediation, and plant supply work. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying native plant installation, invasive species removal, coastal dune stabilization using native vegetation, irrigation system design and installation, and general plant material procurement for municipal landscaping projects. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), cities (Dallas, Texas), and special-purpose authorities. The work ranges from one-time plant purchases and small dune restoration projects to multi-year environmental services contracts with site monitoring, reporting, and maintenance obligations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where three of five posted opportunities appeared in the first quarter of 2026. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with bids due April 14, 2026, and a contract ceiling of $120,000. Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, a coastal dune stabilization effort supplying and installing approximately 56,250 native plants across 225,000 square feet, with bids due March 13, 2026. Pinellas County posted an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning 2025–2030, seeking qualified firms for invasive species removal, native plant installation, and regulatory-compliant monitoring at multiple county sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plant purchases with bids due February 3, 2026. DeKalb County's reconstruction work for the DeKalb Tennis Center (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026) included IT infrastructure but was tagged under this plant code despite its primary scope in technology systems.
