UNSPSC 10217605: Live salmon zinnia

Live plant including the root ball of the salmon variety of zinnias

UNSPSC 10217605 Live salmon zinnia, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally refers to a specific ornamental plant species, yet the five most recent opportunities solicited by state and local jurisdictions cover IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (DeKalb County, Georgia), landscaping and irrigation systems along a county road (Pasco County, Florida), coastal dune restoration using native plants (Collier County, Florida), multi-year environmental planting and wetland monitoring (Pinellas County, Florida), and generic plant procurement without species specification (City of Dallas, Texas). None of these solicitations explicitly names Live salmon zinnia or targets that commodity.

The mismatch suggests that the code assignment to these opportunities may reflect a cataloging error or an overly broad tagging practice. State and local procurement activity visible under this code includes installation and maintenance services far outside ornamental plant supply, and when plants are the primary focus (Collier County dune restoration, Pinellas County environmental mitigation, City of Dallas plant purchase), the specifications call for native coastal species, invasive species removal, or unspecified plant materials—not the specific cultivar the code describes. Buyers issuing under this code span county departments of innovation and technology, county public works and landscaping divisions, coastal environmental agencies, and municipal parks and procurement offices across Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Without direct evidence that state and local governments currently solicit Live salmon zinnia specifically, treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity for acquisition planning purposes.
