UNSPSC 10218307: Live leucospermum formosum

Live plant including the root ball of the formosum variety of leucospermums

UNSPSC 10218307 Live leucospermum formosum, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species (leucospermum formosum), but the five recent opportunities in the source span IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction, landscape and irrigation installation along roadway corridors, coastal dune restoration using multiple native plant species, comprehensive environmental planting and wetland management services, and generic plant procurement — none of which are specific to leucospermum formosum or even to a single plant species. The DeKalb County ITB for tennis center reconstruction and the City of Dallas IFS for plant purchase appear to have been tagged with this code by error; the former involves IT cabling and infrastructure, while the latter calls for unspecified plants in new, unopened, original packaging without identifying species. The three remaining opportunities — Pasco County's landscaping and irrigation installation for Ridge Road, Collier County's coastal dune planting with sea oats and native species, and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and wetland management RFP — do involve plant installation but focus on native plant mixes, invasive species removal, and ecosystem restoration rather than a single ornamental species.

State and local procurement under this code shows minimal relevant recent activity. The source presents no opportunities that explicitly solicit leucospermum formosum. Collier County (Pelican Bay dune restoration) and Pinellas County (environmental services) represent the most active recent buyers in native and coastal vegetation, with Pinellas's five-year contract structure offering the most substantial engagement opportunity. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with isolated procurement in Georgia and Texas. Without clear, recurring demand for leucospermum formosum specifically, this code warrants close watching rather than active pursuit unless the issuing body demonstrates direct sourcing intent in addenda or pre-bid activity.
