UNSPSC 10222700: Live calatheas

Live plants including the root ball of calatheas

UNSPSC 10222700 Live calatheas (Class) appears in state and local procurement records but shows little alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a Georgia recreation facility, landscaping and irrigation system design and installation along a Florida county road, coastal dune restoration with native plantings in Florida, environmental planting and invasive species management across multiple Florida wetland and stormwater sites, and generic plant purchases for a Texas municipality. Only the last two solicitations—Collier County's dune plantings project and Pinellas County's environmental planting and maintenance RFP—involve planting work that aligns with the code's plant-focused taxonomy. The remaining opportunities (DeKalb County's IT infrastructure, Pasco County's road landscaping and irrigation, and the City of Dallas's generic plant purchase) do not match the specific designation of calatheas as a commodity.

Issuing bodies in the tagged records span Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a Georgia county (DeKalb), and a Texas municipality (City of Dallas), with no repeating buyers across the small sample. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, driven by post-hurricane coastal restoration and environmental remediation work. Representative opportunities include Collier County's Quick Quote for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants—sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower—with bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across five years (2025–2030) with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants with bids due February 3, 2026. The code shows sparse recent activity, and when opportunities do align with planting work, they target native species restoration and environmental compliance rather than ornamental houseplants like calatheas, signaling potential misclassification in the procurement system.
