UNSPSC 10217803: Live clarkei geranium

Live plant including the root ball of the clarkei variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10217803 Live clarkei geranium, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name refers to a specific plant species, yet the recent opportunities in the dataset do not involve geranium procurement; instead, they reflect landscaping, irrigation, dune restoration, environmental planting, and general plant purchasing across multiple project types and jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's narrow botanical specification and the actual work being solicited suggests this code either captures a very niche procurement stream or is infrequently applied by state and local issuing bodies.

The few opportunities posted under or adjacent to this classification span Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and the City of Dallas, with work ranging from coastal dune stabilization using native species to roadside landscaping and irrigation installation to environmental restoration and native plant installation. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscape and irrigation along Ridge Road due April 14, 2026, budgeted at $120,000 and requiring Florida-licensed contractors; Collier County solicited bids for Pelican Bay dune plantings (approximately 56,250 native plants) via Quick Quote due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County issued an RFP for five-year environmental planting and maintenance services (2025–2030) due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for general plant purchases due February 3, 2026. The geographic concentration in Florida reflects coastal and environmental restoration priorities, while the Dallas procurement suggests municipal landscape maintenance demand. State and local procurement under this code, when it occurs, typically involves bidders with relevant licensing, insurance, and environmental compliance credentials rather than species-specific horticultural expertise.
