UNSPSC 10221500: Live agapanthuses

Live plants including the root ball of agapanthuses

UNSPSC 10221500 Live agapanthuses is a Class code that describes ornamental flowering plants for landscaping and grounds maintenance, though the recent solicitations in the code show significant scope mismatch. State and local buyers under this code are primarily county governments and municipalities procuring plants for coastal dune restoration, median landscaping with irrigation systems, environmental site remediation, and general grounds beautification. The work spans native plant installation for ecological restoration (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower), ornamental trees and shrubs for roadway corridors, and generalized plant purchases for municipal operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County), regional authorities such as the City of Dallas, and county departments managing parks and environmental resources. The recent opportunities reflect mixed purchasing patterns—some solicitations focus on specialized coastal dune stabilization following hurricane damage, others on comprehensive five-year environmental management contracts with monitoring and reporting requirements, and still others on straightforward plant material procurement for departmental use.

Geographic activity centers in Florida, where three of the four substantial recent solicitations originated (Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County), with additional activity in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas). Pasco County issued an IFB in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover installation to Grade Number 1 standards with a 180-calendar-day completion window and a total contract price not to exceed $120,000. Collier County posted a Quick Quote in March 2026 for approximately 56,250 native dune plants and associated fencing and signage for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, a coastal restoration effort following Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 for a five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services contract covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and regulatory-compliant monitoring at wetlands and stormwater treatment sites, with SBE participation provisions and a not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000 for work assignments. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026 for plant purchase with proposals due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened plants in original packaging with FOB delivery and a one-year warranty from acceptance.
