UNSPSC 10223301: Live barbatus costus

Live plant including the root ball of barbatus variety of costuses

UNSPSC 10223301 Live barbatus costus is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The five posted solicitations span IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction, landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental wetland and stormwater site management services, and general plant purchases for municipal use — none of which involve live barbatus costus or products specifically identified under that botanical designation. The code shows no relevant recent activity among state and local issuing bodies.

The opportunities posted between January and June 2026 originate from diverse jurisdictions including DeKalb County (Georgia), Pasco County (Florida), Collier County (Florida), Pinellas County (Florida), and the City of Dallas (Texas), but the work they describe — infrastructure cabling, roadside landscaping systems, native dune vegetation installation, environmental restoration services, and unspecified plant inventory — bears no relationship to the narrow commodity scope the code nominally identifies. Absent clarification that barbatus costus is a horticultural or native-species material used in the landscaping, restoration, or environmental management work these jurisdictions are actually buying, this code should not be pursued based on the available record.
