UNSPSC 10225103: Live floribunda or italy mimosa

Live plant including the root ball of floribunda or italy variety of mimosas

UNSPSC 10225103 Live floribunda or italy mimosa, a Commodity code, shows substantial disconnect between its narrow horticultural scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broad landscaping, dune restoration, environmental planting, and infrastructure work that have little connection to the specific plant species named in the code. The actual work being solicited includes landscape installation along roadways, coastal dune stabilization with native vegetation, native plant restoration at environmental mitigation sites, and routine plant purchasing for municipal operations. Counties and cities in Florida dominate the recent activity, though Dallas has also posted procurement here. Issuing bodies span county governments (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), city procurement offices (Dallas), and county departments of transportation or environmental services managing multi-year environmental or landscape contracts alongside one-off plant purchases.

Recent opportunities illustrate the code's actual use: Pasco County issued an IFB (IFBKM26047) due April 14, 2026, for landscaping and irrigation installation over 2.95 miles of Ridge Road, encompassing trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover with a contract price not to exceed $120,000 and a one-year warranty; Collier County posted a Quick Quote on March 13, 2026, for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune area; Pinellas County issued an RFP (250628RFP) 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; and the City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFSPKRB2300020) due February 3, 2026, for purchase of new plants shipped to a distribution center. Activity is concentrated in Florida (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas counties) with secondary presence in Texas. The code shows active procurement but appears misaligned with its commodity definition, suggesting either persistent mis-tagging or a state-local taxonomy drift from the UNSPSC standard.
