UNSPSC 10218311: Live leucospermum heterophyllum

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

UNSPSC 10218311 Live leucospermum heterophyllum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a marked mismatch between the code's narrow botanical classification and the work being solicited. The opportunities posted do not involve leucospermum heterophyllum procurement; instead, they reflect broad landscaping, environmental restoration, and native plant installation work that spans dune stabilization, stormwater pond management, roadside median planting, and general municipal grounds maintenance. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include county boards (DeKalb County in Georgia, Pasco County and Collier County in Florida, Pinellas County in Florida), city procurement offices (City of Dallas), and special environmental divisions (Pinellas County's environmental planting program). The solicitations range from small single-source IFBs and Quick Quotes to multi-year RFPs with environmental certification requirements and compliance obligations including E-Verify registration, Florida business licensing, and coastal environmental constraints.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 on March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026, for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and local vendor preference eligibility. Collier County posted a Quick Quote on March 13, 2026, due the same day, for supply and installation of native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) across approximately 225,000 square feet of coastal dune as part of post-hurricane restoration following Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Pinellas County released an RFP on February 26, 2026, due July 29, 2025, for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple sites including mitigation areas, wetlands, and stormwater ponds, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications with an SBE not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000 per work assignment. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific plant species named; procurement under this classification appears driven by geographic jurisdiction tags rather than actual leucospermum heterophyllum sourcing.
