UNSPSC 10224703: Live white liatris

Live plant including the root ball of white variety of liatrises

UNSPSC 10224703 Live white liatris is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental planting and monitoring services, and general plant procurement — none of which are specific to live white liatris or any particular plant species. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County) and a city procurement office (City of Dallas), with most activity concentrated in Florida. The work being solicited ranges from highway median and right-of-way landscaping with irrigation to post-hurricane coastal dune stabilization using native plantings, five-year environmental restoration contracts with invasive species removal and monitoring, and open plant purchases for city operations.

Recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) for 2.95 miles with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and a response deadline of April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings involving approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) with a March 13, 2026 deadline; Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services across a five-year period (2025–2030) with a July 29, 2025 response deadline and SBE participation opportunities capped at $100,000 per work assignment; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plant purchases with an IFS due date of February 3, 2026. The code shows active activity in Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb) and Texas (Dallas), though the mismatch between the specific commodity name and the broad landscaping and environmental services being procured signals either ongoing data-classification drift or a systemic tagging issue that may limit the utility of this code for targeted business development in horticultural or landscape supply specialization.
