UNSPSC 10218338: Live leucospermum mundii

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

UNSPSC 10218338 Live leucospermum mundii is a Commodity code identifying a specific ornamental plant species, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct purchasing of leucospermum. Instead, the code's recent opportunities reflect broad landscaping and dune restoration work where plant materials are procured as part of larger environmental or grounds-improvement projects. State and local governments issuing under this code include county governments, city procurement departments, and special-purpose service divisions — DeKalb County (Georgia), Pasco County (Florida), Collier County (Florida), Pinellas County (Florida), and the City of Dallas (Texas). The work actually being solicited spans landscape installation with irrigation systems along roadways, coastal dune stabilization using native plant species, environmental planting and invasive-species removal at wetlands and stormwater facilities, and routine plant procurement for municipal operations. When plant species are named, the emphasis falls on native Florida dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) and comprehensive native plant palettes for ecological restoration rather than ornamental species like leucospermum.

The geographic spread centers on Florida, where Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have posted landscaping and environmental planting solicitations between February and March 2026, with a representative opportunity being Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (response due April 14, 2026, contract not to exceed $120,000), and Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (response due March 13, 2026). Pinellas County issued an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering a five-year period from 2025 to 2030 with responses due July 29, 2025, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications and managing mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater treatment ponds. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (response due February 3, 2026) with delivery to a single address and no set-asides identified. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (a single South African protea species) and the actual procurement activity suggests the code may be flagged incorrectly on state and local notices, or leucospermum is used incidentally within broader landscaping scopes without explicit mention.
