UNSPSC 10217827: Live x magnificum or showy geranium

Live plant including the root ball of the magnificum or showy variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10217827 Live x magnificum or showy geranium is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single ornamental plant species, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span landscape construction, coastal dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and general plant procurement — none of which specifically target geraniums. State and local buyers posting under this code include county departments of innovation and technology, parks and recreation authorities, environmental services divisions, and municipal procurement offices. The scope of work actually being solicited includes IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation for a tennis center reconstruction (DeKalb County, Georgia), landscaping and irrigation system installation along a 2.95-mile roadway corridor (Pasco County, Florida), coastal dune stabilization with native plant species (Collier County, Florida), multi-year environmental planting and invasive species removal services (Pinellas County, Florida), and general plant material procurement (City of Dallas, Texas). The issuing bodies are predominantly Florida counties and municipal governments, with representation from Georgia and Texas.

The geographic spread centers on Florida, where three of four named recent opportunities originate: Pasco County's landscape and irrigation installation (ITB posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026, not-to-exceed $120,000), Collier County's dune planting quick quote (posted March 13, 2026, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and monitoring RFP (posted February 26, 2026, due July 29, 2025 — a date error in the source). DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB for tennis center reconstruction including IT infrastructure (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026), and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plants (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026). The mismatch between the code's narrow botanical focus and the breadth of landscape, environmental, and infrastructure work appearing under it suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or represents a legacy classification issue. Buyers pursuing contract opportunities in this space should verify actual scope requirements against solicitation documents rather than relying on the UNSPSC code designation alone.
