UNSPSC 10222900: Live calendulas

Live plants including the root ball of calendulas

UNSPSC 10222900 Live calendulas is a Class code that encompasses the supply and installation of native and ornamental plants for landscaping, ecological restoration, dune stabilization, and environmental mitigation projects across state and local jurisdictions. The recent opportunities show state and local governments procuring live plant materials—sea oats, dune sunflowers, railroad vine, sea purslane, shrubs, palms, groundcover, and diverse native species—typically bundled with installation labor, irrigation systems, site preparation, and post-installation maintenance. Work ranges from straightforward plant procurement (City of Dallas purchasing new plants for delivery) to complex coastal dune restoration (Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony project installing 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet following hurricane damage) to five-year environmental management contracts (Pinellas County's invasive species removal, native plant installation, and regulatory monitoring). Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County Georgia, Pasco County Florida, Collier County Florida, Pinellas County Florida), municipal governments (City of Dallas Texas), and special districts (Pelican Bay Services Division). The code sees activity across multiple states, with concentrated recent solicitation in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties) and activity in Georgia and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road for 2.95 miles, with bids due April 14, 2026 and a total contract price not to exceed $120,000, requiring State of Florida licensing and E-Verify compliance; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings posted March 13, 2026 with immediate response deadline, calling for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants with coastal environmental constraints and sea turtle nesting season protocols; Pinellas County's RFP 250628 for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting and maintenance services across multiple mitigation and wetland sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications; and City of Dallas IFS 215260 for plant purchase, posted January 28, 2026 with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring new unopened plants FOB delivery to specified Dallas address with one-year warranty. The code shows consistent activity but no indication that the recent opportunities labeled under it universally match live-calendula-specific procurement—the DeKalb County opportunity, for example, is primarily an IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation that appears to have been mistagged.
