UNSPSC 10224700: Live liatrises

Live plants including the root ball of liatris

UNSPSC 10224700 Live liatrises, a Class code, encompasses the supply and installation of live plant materials for landscaping, dune restoration, and environmental remediation projects. State and local governments procure under this code when establishing or restoring vegetated areas — including native plantings for coastal dune stabilization, median and roadside landscaping with irrigation infrastructure, and ecological mitigation and wetland restoration work. Recent solicitations show county governments and municipalities issuing ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal procurement notices for these services. The work typically includes furnishing plant materials (often from Florida-licensed nurseries and meeting specified grade standards), labor and equipment for installation, initial establishment care such as watering and hydrogel application, and compliance with environmental permitting and sea turtle nesting protocols where applicable. Larger multi-year contracts combine planting with ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and invasive species removal; smaller one-time procurements focus on material supply and installation alone.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where coastal dune restoration and stormwater management plantings drive procurement. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued IFB KM-26-047 in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road over 2.95 miles, with bids due April 14, 2026 and a contract cap of $120,000. Collier County issued a Quick Quote in March 2026 for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings — approximately 56,250 native dune plants and supporting infrastructure across 4,500 linear feet, with responses due March 13, 2026. Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering a five-year term from 2025 to 2030, with invasive plant removal, native installation, and regulatory-compliant monitoring at multiple sites including wetlands and stormwater ponds; proposals were due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation in January 2026 for plant purchase (IFS 215260), due February 3, 2026. DeKalb County, Georgia issued ITB 2026-076 in June 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center; however, the actual scope described in that solicitation concerns IT and low-voltage infrastructure cabling, not live plant materials, indicating a code-to-scope mismatch on that entry.
