UNSPSC 10218108: Live king protea

Live plant including the root ball of the king variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10218108 Live king protea is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations under this code span a much broader landscape—from native dune plantings and coastal ecosystem restoration to general-purpose nursery plant procurement and environmental mitigation planting. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and cities (Dallas, Texas), alongside specialized environmental divisions. The scope of work ranges from supply-and-installation of native species for dune stabilization and wetland mitigation to invasive-species removal, site maintenance, and multi-year environmental monitoring and reporting tied to regulatory permits. Contractors are commonly required to hold State of Florida professional licenses, E-Verify enrollment, and environmental certifications such as Licensed Public Applicator credentials; coastal projects demand expertise in sea-turtle nesting protocols and sand compaction minimization.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation across 2.95 miles of Ridge Road, including 56,250 native plants, treated wood posts, and erosion-control signage at a contract not-to-exceed of $120,000; Collier County posted a Quick Quote informal procurement on March 13, 2026 (same-day due date) for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project covering approximately 225,000 square feet of coastal dune restoration with approximately 56,250 native dune plants and associated infrastructure following 2024 hurricane damage. Pinellas County released RFP 250628RFP on February 26, 2026 for a five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance contract (2025–2030) at mitigation sites and wetlands, with proposal submissions required by July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted Informal Solicitation 215260 on January 28, 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for general plant procurement, new and unopened, FOB delivery to Dallas with a one-year warranty. Florida jurisdictions dominate recent posting activity and show repeat engagement in native-species restoration and permit-driven environmental work.
