UNSPSC 10217422: Live red waxflower

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

UNSPSC 10217422 Live red waxflower is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities record landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental site management with invasive plant removal and native species establishment, and general plant procurement — none of which involve live red waxflower specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring broad plant material and installation services for infrastructure, environmental remediation, and aesthetic landscaping projects rather than a single ornamental flower species. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County and Pasco County in Georgia and Florida respectively, Collier County and Pinellas County in Florida), a city government (Dallas), and county environmental and parks departments managing mixed-use projects including transportation corridors, recreational facilities, coastal restoration, and stormwater management. The work spans labor, materials, equipment, design coordination, regulatory permitting, and long-term maintenance across multiple service categories that fall outside the nominal scope of a single plant commodity.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida, with Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay dune restoration, Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP, due July 29, 2025) posting significant environmental and landscaping solicitations. DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction (due July 13, 2026) that includes low-voltage infrastructure alongside site work. The City of Dallas posted a straightforward plant purchase IFB on February 3, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to live red waxflower as a discrete commodity — the tagging appears to reflect miscategorization against the actual scope of work being procured, which encompasses design-build landscaping, ecological restoration services, and mixed-species plant material rather than a single flower variety.
