UNSPSC 10224701: Live purple liatris

Live plant including the root ball of purple variety of liatrises

UNSPSC 10224701 Live purple liatris is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental flowering plants, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity actually sourcing live purple liatris itself. Instead, the code has been applied to broader landscape and environmental planting work. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County in Georgia), a major city (Dallas), and regional authorities. The actual scope of work includes native plant installation and dune restoration for coastal stabilization, invasive species removal and native plant management across wetlands and stormwater treatment sites, general plant procurement for municipal use, and comprehensive landscape installation with irrigation systems. Issuing bodies range from transportation and public works departments to environmental management and procurement divisions, with Pinellas County and the Florida counties (Pasco, Collier) appearing most active in recent solicitations under environmental restoration and landscaping mandates.

Recent opportunities illustrate the geographic concentration in Florida and the Southeast. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued IFB No. KM-26-047 on March 13, 2026, for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road spanning 2.95 miles, with bids due April 14, 2026, under a $120,000 contract ceiling. Collier County, through its Pelican Bay Services Division, posted a Quick Quote on March 13, 2026, for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune, with bids due the same day at 3:00 p.m. Pinellas County released an RFP on February 26, 2026, for a five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance contract covering invasive species removal, native plant installation, and regulatory compliance at wetlands and stormwater sites, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026, for the purchase of plants, with bids due February 3, 2026. The code shows moderate activity in Florida coastal and environmental restoration contexts and limited activity in other states.
