UNSPSC 10217601: Live hot pink zinnia

Live plant including the root ball of the hot pink variety of zinnias

UNSPSC 10217601 Live hot pink zinnia, a Commodity code, maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity—the code nominally describes a single ornamental plant species, yet recent solicitations filed under it span broad environmental planting, landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, and general plant procurement across multiple jurisdictions with no focus on zinnias specifically. State and local governments are using this code to tag work that includes native plant installation for ecological restoration, invasive-species removal and site maintenance, irrigation system design and installation, dune stabilization using nature-based solutions, and bulk plant purchases for municipal landscaping. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal authorities (City of Dallas, Texas), spanning both specialized environmental management contracts and straightforward plant procurement. Work ranges from five-year environmental services agreements with monitoring and regulatory reporting to short-cycle plant supply bids with thirty-day firm pricing and one-year replacement warranties.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along 2.95 miles of Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a not-to-exceed contract price of $120,000 and a response date of April 14, 2026. Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project—a coastal dune stabilization effort requiring supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants, treated wood posts, rope, and signage, with responses due March 13, 2026. Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering invasive-species removal, native plant installation, and regulatory compliance reporting across multiple sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for general plant purchases on January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026, requiring new merchandise in original packaging delivered FOB Dallas with firm pricing for thirty days. The code's application appears inconsistent with its nominal scope, suggesting either broad institutional tagging practice or data-entry misalignment rather than focused market activity in live hot pink zinnias specifically.
