UNSPSC 10217814: Live platypetalum geranium

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

UNSPSC 10217814 Live platypetalum geranium is a Commodity code that nominally describes ornamental plants, but the recent state and local opportunities record shows little activity directly aligned with this specific plant species. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span a broader scope of landscaping and environmental planting work, including site restoration, dune stabilization with native plantings, invasive species removal, irrigation system installation, and general plant procurement — work that extends well beyond a single ornamental species. State and local issuing bodies using this code range from county commissions and municipal parks departments to special environmental management programs, though the sample is small and the code does not appear to be a primary procurement vehicle for landscaping or horticultural services.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Texas, with solicitations from Pasco County (landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay dune plantings, Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County (environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services 2025–2030, RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas (purchase of plants, IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026). The Pasco County IFB explicitly calls for landscaping and irrigation installation across 2.95 miles of roadway median and right-of-way using Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 plant materials, with a contract not to exceed $120,000. The Pinellas County RFP targets a five-year environmental services contract with invasive species removal, native plant installation, and monitoring across multiple wetland and stormwater sites. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent opportunities suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for plant-related work; firms pursuing landscaping, environmental restoration, or general horticultural contracts should monitor the relevant county and municipal procurement channels directly rather than rely on this code as a reliable signal.
