UNSPSC 10218116: Live repens protea

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

UNSPSC 10218116 Live repens protea is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure live plant material for landscaping, restoration, and environmental projects. Recent solicitations show that the code captures acquisitions of native and ornamental plants for dune stabilization, coastal erosion control, wetland mitigation, stormwater pond landscaping, and general grounds maintenance. The issuing bodies pursuing work under this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipalities (City of Dallas, Texas). Scope varies from single-commodity plant purchases to comprehensive multi-year environmental restoration contracts bundling plant supply, installation, site monitoring, invasive species removal, and regulatory compliance reporting. Contractors commonly must source plants from licensed nurseries, meet state horticultural grading standards, provide installation labor with specified spacing and layout protocols, and deliver post-installation maintenance or warranty coverage. Certifications required include Florida professional applicator licenses, E-Verify enrollment, and business licensing; larger contracts demand proof of wetland ecology expertise and coastal restoration experience.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) for 2.95 miles, due April 14, 2026, budgeted at $120,000 and requiring Hunter brand irrigation components and Florida-grade plant material; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, a coastal dune stabilization project with 56,250 native plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (2025–2030) covering invasive species removal, native plant installation, and regulatory-compliant monitoring at multiple wetlands and stormwater sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase, due February 3, 2026, with FOB delivery and one-year warranty required.
