UNSPSC 10217701: Live forsythia viridissima

Live plant including the root ball of the viridissima variety of forsythia

UNSPSC 10217701 Live forsythia viridissima is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of ornamental plant material for landscaping, restoration, and grounds maintenance. Recent solicitations show that state and local jurisdictions are buying live plants—primarily native species for coastal dune stabilization, environmental mitigation, and general landscape installation—bundled with installation labor, site preparation, and maintenance services. Work spans dune plantings with sea oats and native groundcovers, mixed-species landscape installations along roadways with irrigation systems, invasive species removal paired with native reforestation, and routine plant supply for municipal grounds. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County Georgia, Pasco County Florida, Collier County Florida, Pinellas County Florida) and city procurement offices (City of Dallas), with county environmental and public works departments appearing most frequently in recent activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Georgia. Pasco County posted IFB KM-26-047 on March 13, 2026, for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) spanning 2.95 miles, with bids due April 14, 2026, at a contract cap of $120,000.00; the scope included native trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover to Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards. Collier County issued a Quick Quote (QQ2026102) on March 13, 2026, for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, seeking supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower, with bids due March 13, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Pinellas County released RFP 250628RFP in February 2026 for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services including native plant installation and invasive species removal at multiple sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas issued Informal Solicitation 215260 on January 28, 2026, for the purchase of new plants shipped FOB Dallas, with bids due February 3, 2026. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB posted June 9, 2026, for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction, with a due date of July 13, 2026—though the summary conflates IT infrastructure scope with landscaping work and does not represent a clear fit to the live plant code.
