UNSPSC 10218113: Live pink ice protea

Live plant including the root ball of the pink ice variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10218113 Live pink ice protea, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code itself names a single ornamental plant species, but recent solicitations posted under this code encompass broad environmental landscaping, dune restoration, coastal erosion control, irrigation system installation, IT infrastructure, and generic plant procurement—none of which are specific to pink ice protea or even necessarily to ornamental plantings. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city government (Dallas, Texas), spanning both large infrastructure projects and routine commodity plant purchases. The work being solicited ranges from five-year environmental management contracts with invasive species removal and native plant installation to single-event dune restoration following hurricane damage, to short-cycle commodity purchases of unspecified plant material.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida—Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties posted solicitations between January and June 2026—with additional recent activity in Georgia (DeKalb County, June 2026) and Texas (Dallas, January 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000) and Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings with approximately 56,250 native plants across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune (due March 13, 2026). Pinellas County issued an RFP for five-year environmental planting and maintenance services (proposals due July 29, 2025) with a Small Business Enterprise participation threshold of $100,000 per work assignment. The Dallas city purchase solicitation (due February 3, 2026) requested new, unopened plants with no specifications of species or quantity disclosed. The code shows no current procurement activity tightly scoped to pink ice protea specifically.
