UNSPSC 10218117: Live rosespoon protea

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

UNSPSC 10218117 Live rosespoon protea is a Commodity code that designates a single ornamental plant species, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope—landscape design, installation, and maintenance of native and non-native plantings across dunes, parks, roadways, and restoration sites. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily counties and cities in Florida and Texas, including Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County, and the City of Dallas. The actual procurement activity encompasses supply and installation of mixed plant material (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower, trees, shrubs, palms, groundcover), irrigation system design and installation, invasive species removal, environmental monitoring and reporting, and ongoing site maintenance—not live rosespoon protea specifically. This suggests a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what issuing bodies are actually buying under it.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida, where Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued an IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, contract value $120,000); Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote for dune restoration plantings at Pelican Bay Bay Colony (due March 13, 2026); and Pinellas County released an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services spanning 2025–2030 with a five-year term. DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center that includes low-voltage infrastructure (due July 13, 2026), which appears unrelated to the code's plant scope. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for purchase of plants (due February 3, 2026) with no budget disclosed. The code shows little relevant activity when screened for actual live rosespoon protea procurement; the volume of recent state and local solicitations reflects general landscaping and environmental restoration services rather than this specific plant species.
