UNSPSC 10224601: Live pink ixia

Live plant including the root ball of pink ixia variety of ixias

UNSPSC 10224601 Live pink ixia is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope of landscape and environmental restoration work. The five recent solicitations show state and local governments buying comprehensive landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune stabilization with native plantings, wetland and stormwater site restoration with invasive species removal, and general plant procurement — work that only tangentially or incidentally involves the ixia species itself. DeKalb County's 2026-076-ITB for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction, Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (2.95 miles of median and right-of-way planting with Hunter irrigation systems), and Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (five-year contract covering mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater ponds) represent environmental and infrastructure-grade landscape work. Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings targets 225,000 square feet of coastal dune restoration with 56,250 native plants including sea oats, railroad vine, and sea purslane. The City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for general plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) is the only straightforward commodity-level procurement in the set.

The issuing bodies are county and municipal governments in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with county-level buyers dominating the recent activity — Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County each issued environmental and landscape-focused solicitations in the first quarter of 2026. DeKalb County (Georgia) and the City of Dallas represent state and municipal representation. The code shows limited geographic spread; Florida accounts for four of the five recent opportunities, with Georgia and Texas each representing one. The mismatch between the code's narrow botanical name and the breadth of actual procurement suggests the code is either miscategorized at the commodity level or systematically misapplied in state and local procurement systems — recent opportunities are predominantly service-based (landscape design, irrigation installation, invasive species management, monitoring, and restoration) rather than commodity purchases of live plants. Practitioners should treat activity under this code with caution; substantive work being solicited is substantially broader than ixia supply and is likely better captured under landscape and environmental services codes.
