UNSPSC 10223101: Live red cestrum

Live plant including the root ball of red variety of cestrums

UNSPSC 10223101 Live red cestrum, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The source contains five recent solicitations tagged to this code, but none involve live red cestrum or ornamental plants of any kind. Instead, the opportunities span IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a recreation facility, landscaping and irrigation system design and installation along a county roadway, coastal dune restoration using native plants and erosion-control materials, environmental planting and invasive species management services across wetlands and stormwater sites, and a generic municipal plant purchase. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment in how this code is being applied in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include county governments (DeKalb County and Pasco County in Georgia and Florida respectively, Collier County, and Pinellas County) and a city government (Dallas, Texas). The geographic spread covers Florida (three of five opportunities) and Georgia and Texas each with one. No repeat buyers appear across the set. Because the solicitations do not match the code's nominal scope—live red cestrum is an ornamental shrub—procurement professionals should treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity for live red cestrum itself and verify code assignments with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
