UNSPSC 10218348: Live leucospermum truncatum

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

UNSPSC 10218348 Live leucospermum truncatum is a Commodity code naming a specific ornamental flowering plant species, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with procurement of leucospermum truncatum itself. Instead, the tagged solicitations span broader landscape and environmental restoration work—dune stabilization plantings, ridge-road median landscaping and irrigation, tennis center reconstruction, environmental mitigation site management, and general plant purchases—none of which specify leucospermum truncatum as a required material. The mismatch suggests this code may serve as a placeholder or catch-all within some jurisdictions' procurement systems for general floristry and planting services rather than identifying a discrete commodity purchase. The issuing bodies are primarily county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; and Pinellas County, Florida) and a major city (Dallas, Texas), spanning both small informal quotes and multi-year RFP frameworks. Work scopes range from one-time supply-and-install projects (dune plantings, median landscaping) to ongoing as-needed environmental management contracts with 24-month or 60-month terms.

Florida counties dominate recent activity under this code, with three of five opportunities posted in early 2026 by Collier, Pasco, and Pinellas counties for coastal restoration, roadway median irrigation, and environmental monitoring contracts. Pasco County's IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026) specified $120,000 total contract value and required native and ornamental species at Florida Grade Number 1 standards; Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings (March 13, 2026) encompassed 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet; Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting and maintenance (responses due July 29, 2025) included a 150-species native plant roster; and the City of Dallas issued an informal IFS for general plant purchase (responses due February 3, 2026) with no species list or budget disclosed. DeKalb County's ITB for tennis center reconstruction (due July 13, 2026) was tagged to this code despite focusing on IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, underscoring the taxonomic misalignment. Geographic concentration in Florida reflects active state and local investment in coastal resilience and environmental restoration, while activity outside Florida remains sparse under this specific code.
