UNSPSC 10224001: Live orange gaillardia

Live plant including the root ball of orange variety of gaillardias

UNSPSC 10224001 Live orange gaillardia is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a mismatch between the taxonomy label and actual buying patterns. The five opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span landscape construction, dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and general plant procurement — none of which specifically target live orange gaillardia. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and one city (Dallas, Texas), and the work ranges from broad-scope landscape and irrigation installation to specialized coastal dune stabilization and long-term environmental restoration contracts. The scope extends well beyond a single plant commodity: Pasco County is installing 2.95 miles of landscaping and irrigation along a county road with multiple plant species and a Hunter irrigation system; Collier County is planting approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune; and Pinellas County is seeking a five-year environmental management contract covering invasive removal, native plant installation, and regulatory monitoring across wetlands and stormwater sites.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, where Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties posted three of the five opportunities between February and March 2026, with response dates ranging from March 13 to April 14, 2026. The Pasco County landscaping and irrigation IFB (IFBKM26047) closed April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000; the Collier County coastal dune Quick Quote (QQ2026102) closed March 13, 2026; and the Pinellas County environmental services RFP (250628RFP) required submissions by July 29, 2025. A Dallas city IFS for plant purchase (IFSPKRB2300020) closed February 3, 2026. The DeKalb County ITB 2026-076-ITB for tennis center reconstruction (PE64400NONST2026000000260), posted June 9, 2026 with a July 13, 2026 deadline, appears to have been miscoded — its scope is IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, not landscaping or plant procurement. The code shows limited and geographically concentrated recent activity, with Florida jurisdictions driving most volume and scope diversity; vendors evaluating this code should recognize that opportunities posted under it often encompass full landscape design-build, irrigation engineering, and environmental restoration work rather than direct purchase of the specific plant species the code nominally describes.
