UNSPSC 10218346: Live leucospermum spathulatum

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

UNSPSC 10218346 Live leucospermum spathulatum is a Commodity code that captures a specific ornamental flowering plant species, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal activity directly aligned with this particular plant. The code's nominal scope—procurement of live leucospermum (pincushion flowers)—finds little reflection in actual solicitations. Most recent opportunities under this code involve broader landscaping, irrigation, and environmental restoration work, including dune stabilization plantings, roadside median landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune species installation (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower), native plant environmental monitoring and maintenance services, and generic plant procurement. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include counties (DeKalb County in Georgia, Pasco County in Florida, Collier County in Florida, Pinellas County in Florida), municipalities (City of Dallas), and special-purpose divisions such as Collier County's Pelican Bay Services Division. The activity spans coastal environmental restoration, municipal parks and facilities infrastructure, stormwater management, and general municipal landscaping operations.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Florida, where three of four plant-related solicitations originate (Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation project with an April 14, 2026 bid deadline under IFB KM-26-047 for $120,000, Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration quick quote due March 13, 2026, and Pinellas County's five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP due July 29, 2025). One Georgia opportunity (DeKalb County's Tennis Center reconstruction ITB 2026-076-ITB with a July 13, 2026 deadline) and one Texas opportunity (City of Dallas plant purchase IFS 215260 with a February 3, 2026 deadline) round out the sample, though both appear to be miscoded relative to the leucospermum commodity definition. The code shows limited volume and weak alignment between the plant species named and the work state and local governments are actually buying under it.
