UNSPSC 10217707: Live forsythia ovate

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

UNSPSC 10217707 Live forsythia ovate is a Commodity code that covers the supply and installation of ornamental plants, particularly forsythia species and related native vegetation, for landscaping, dune restoration, and environmental mitigation projects. State and local governments procure this code for coastal dune stabilization, roadway median landscaping, wetland and stormwater restoration, and general municipal planting initiatives. Issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, city departments, and special-purpose environmental divisions—including Collier County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County, and the City of Dallas—often bundling plant supply with installation labor, site preparation, irrigation infrastructure, and multi-year maintenance or monitoring services. Recent solicitations show that governments combine the commodity with engineering design, permitting, and post-installation warranty obligations, particularly when the work involves regulatory compliance (coastal environmental constraints, Florida Statutes Chapter 161, NPDES stormwater requirements) or ecological restoration tied to federal or state funding.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with coastal and environmental restoration projects dominating the solicitations. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (2.95 miles from Broad Street to Moon Lake Road) with a contract cap of $120,000 and bids due April 14, 2026. Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project solicited supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) across 225,000 square feet via Quick Quote informal procurement with bids due March 13, 2026. Pinellas County issued RFP 250628RFP for five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering mitigation sites and wetlands with proposals due July 29, 2025; the solicitation included SBE participation thresholds and labor-rate pricing structures. The City of Dallas issued Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase with bids due February 3, 2026. Geographic activity spans Florida (coastal and inland projects) and Texas; the code shows no recent activity outside these states in the available records.
