UNSPSC 10223302: Live indian head costus

Live plant including the root ball of indian head variety of costuses

UNSPSC 10223302 Live Indian Head Costus is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of that plant variety. Instead, the opportunities show landscape design, installation, and environmental restoration work — including IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction, landscaping and irrigation system installation along a county road, coastal dune plantings with native species, and five-year environmental planting and monitoring services. The scope mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied to these solicitations or reflects a data-tagging issue; the actual work being solicited involves broad landscape and environmental services rather than procurement of live costus plants specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), a city government (City of Dallas, Texas), and county or municipal divisions. These represent a mix of departments with facilities and environmental infrastructure mandates.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026) with a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for coastal dune plantings with approximately 56,250 native plants (due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering five years with SBE participation thresholds (due July 29, 2025, though dated inconsistently in the source); DeKalb County's ITB for tennis center reconstruction including IT infrastructure (due July 13, 2026); and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). The code shows scattered activity across these jurisdictions with no clear repeat buyer pattern, and the presence of a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited warrants verification before pursuing opportunities flagged under this UNSPSC number.
