UNSPSC 10222902: Live yellow calendula

Live plant including the root ball of yellow variety of calendulas

UNSPSC 10222902 Live yellow calendula, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this classification in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation system design and installation along roadways, coastal dune restoration with native plant species, environmental restoration and invasive species management, and general plant procurement for municipal use—none of which center on live yellow calendula as a distinct product line. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying, suggesting either systematic miscoding or a category used as a catch-all for horticultural and environmental procurement that does not align with the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The recent opportunities span county and city issuing bodies across Florida and Texas, with Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida and the City of Dallas, Texas appearing in the sample. Pasco County issued an IFB on March 13, 2026, for landscape and irrigation installation on Ridge Road extending 2.95 miles with a response deadline of April 14, 2026, and a not-to-exceed contract value of $120,000. Collier County solicited dune planting services on March 13, 2026 (Quick Quote process), requiring supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune. Pinellas County issued an RFP on February 26, 2026, for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (2025–2030) with a proposal deadline of July 29, 2025, targeting invasive species removal and native plant installation at multiple sites. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026, for general plant purchase with a response deadline of February 3, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to live yellow calendula specifically.
