UNSPSC 10223401: Live lucifer crocosmia

Live plant including the root ball of lucifer variety of crocosmias

UNSPSC 10223401 Live lucifer crocosmia, a Commodity code, shows substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass broad landscape and environmental planting work—irrigation system installation, coastal dune stabilization with native species, environmental remediation across multiple plant types, and general plant procurement. State and local issuing bodies treating this code as a container for landscape restoration, dune planting, environmental mitigation, and horticultural supply include county boards of commissioners, municipal governments, and special-purpose environmental districts. The work being solicited ranges from large infrastructure projects such as roadway median landscaping with irrigation to specialized coastal ecosystem restoration and multi-year environmental management contracts requiring State of Florida applicator certifications and wetland ecology expertise.

Recent opportunities span Florida jurisdictions predominantly, with activity in Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay coastal dune restoration, Quick Quote QQ2026102, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (five-year environmental planting and monitoring RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025). Activity extends to Georgia—DeKalb County issued an ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at a tennis center reconstruction (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026), which appears unrelated to planting work—and Texas, where the City of Dallas solicited plants via informal bid IFS 215260 (due February 3, 2026) with no species or scope detail disclosed. The code shows little coherent recent activity; the tagged opportunities do not consistently reference live crocosmia or align with a single commodity definition, suggesting either miscoding at the point of solicitation or use of this UNSPSC category as a catch-all for horticultural procurement without regard to species specificity.
