UNSPSC 10217820: Live sanguineum or bloody geranium

Live plant including the root ball of the sanguineum or bloody variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10217820 Live sanguineum or bloody geranium is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities block shows five solicitations posted between January and June 2026, none of which involve geranium or ornamental plant procurement in any conventional sense. Instead, the opportunities span IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a tennis facility reconstruction (DeKalb County, Georgia, ITB due July 13, 2026), large-scale landscaping and irrigation installation along a county road (Pasco County, Florida, IFB due April 14, 2026), coastal dune restoration with native plant installation (Collier County, Florida, informal procurement due March 13, 2026), environmental site remediation and native plant management over five years (Pinellas County, Florida, RFP due July 29, 2025), and general plant procurement for municipal use (City of Dallas, Texas, informal solicitation due February 3, 2026). The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously across these solicitations; the DeKalb Tennis Center opportunity is fundamentally about IT infrastructure and has no landscape component, while the others involve large-scale environmental restoration, invasive species removal, or general horticultural supply rather than the specific retail ornamental-plant purchase that the code name suggests.

The issuing bodies include county departments (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a city procurement office (Dallas), and appear to span environmental, facilities, and landscaping functions. Geographic activity centers on Florida (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas counties) and includes Georgia and Texas. The scope mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being procured signals that this code shows little relevant activity for vendors specializing in live sanguineum or bloody geranium sales — the opportunities are for infrastructure systems, site restoration and maintenance, and general plant supplies that fall outside the commodity's stated domain.
