UNSPSC 10218023: Live serotina rudbeckia

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

UNSPSC 10218023 Live serotina rudbeckia is a Commodity code covering the purchase and installation of live native dune and coastal plants, including serotina rudbeckia and related dune-stabilization vegetation. State and local governments procure these plantings primarily through counties and municipalities undertaking coastal erosion control, ecological restoration, and stormwater management projects. The work spans supply of plant material (often specified by species, size, and quantity), site preparation, installation at specified spacing and depth, initial watering and soil amendment, and in some cases post-installation monitoring and maintenance through warranty periods. Recent solicitations show county environmental and parks departments as the primary issuing bodies, with contracts structured as ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs depending on project complexity and the scope of ongoing services.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Florida, where coastal county governments (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and municipalities are actively restoring dune systems following 2024 hurricane damage and managing stormwater and wetland sites. Collier County issued a Quick Quote in March 2026 for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, calling for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune, with responses due March 13, 2026. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued IFB KM26047 in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species meeting Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards, with bids due April 14, 2026 and a contract ceiling of $120,000. Pinellas County posted an RFP in February 2026 for a five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance contract (2025–2030) covering invasive plant removal and native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025. Activity outside Florida is limited; the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for the purchase of plants, but the scope does not clearly target dune or coastal species and appears generic to municipal landscaping supply.
