UNSPSC 10218111: Live pincushion tango protea

Live plant including the root ball of the pincushion tango variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10218111 Live pincushion tango protea is a Commodity code that encompasses supply and installation of live ornamental plant material, including native dune and wetland species, for landscape restoration, environmental remediation, and grounds beautification projects. State and local governments procure under this code when restoring coastal dunes, stabilizing wetlands, installing native plantings for stormwater management, and upgrading public grounds and park infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement offices, and county departments of innovation and technology managing capital projects. Recent solicitations range from small-scale plant purchases to multiyear environmental restoration contracts with specialized compliance and monitoring requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with representative opportunities including Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026) calling for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune; Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB KM-26-047 for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026) with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and completion in 180 calendar days; Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance RFP (due July 29, 2025) covering invasive species removal, native plant installation, and site monitoring at wetlands and stormwater facilities; and the City of Dallas's purchase of plants under Informal Solicitation 215260 (due February 3, 2026) requiring new, unopened plant material FOB to Dallas. DeKalb County, Georgia's reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center ITB (due July 13, 2026) includes IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure systems rather than live plants, indicating potential code-tagging misalignment in that opportunity.
