UNSPSC 10218006: Live fulgida rudbeckia

Live plant including the root ball of the fulgida variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10218006 Live fulgida rudbeckia is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve landscaping and irrigation installation, native plant restoration, environmental site maintenance, and general plant procurement—none of which align with the narrow botanical specification of fulgida rudbeckia. The issuing bodies are diverse county commissions, municipal governments, and special-purpose districts in Florida and Texas, including Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County, and the City of Dallas. The work being solicited ranges from hardscape and irrigation design-build (Ridge Road median landscaping in Pasco County), to post-hurricane coastal dune restoration using native species (Pelican Bay in Collier County), to multiyear environmental management contracts with wetland restoration and invasive species removal (Pinellas County), to one-off plant purchases for municipal operations (City of Dallas).

The code shows recent activity in Florida counties dominating the mix, with Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas) represented. Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB (due April 14, 2026, not to exceed $120,000) called for comprehensive installation of trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover with a 2.95-mile scope. Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026) sought supply and installation of 56,250 native dune plants, including sea oats, railroad vine, and dune sunflower across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune. Pinellas County's five-year environmental management RFP (proposals due July 29, 2025) covers invasive plant removal, native installation, and regulatory-compliant monitoring at wetlands and stormwater facilities. The City of Dallas issued a straightforward Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) with FOB delivery to a municipal address. The code mismatch suggests a classification error rather than a meaningful commodity category for business development purposes.
