UNSPSC 10225400: Live phlox

Live plants including the root ball of phlox

UNSPSC 10225400 Live phlox (Class) shows limited alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass a wide range of landscaping, dune restoration, environmental planting, and general plant procurement — but only one opportunity explicitly names phlox or a comparable flowering perennial, and most solicitations focus on site-specific ecosystem restoration, irrigation infrastructure, or bulk plant supply rather than live phlox as a discrete product line. The issuing bodies include county commissions (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a municipal government (Dallas), and one county department (DeKalb); the mix spans coastal dune stabilization, roadway median landscaping, environmental mitigation and monitoring, and general plant purchasing. Scope varies sharply: Pasco County's Ridge Road project is a 2.95-mile median and right-of-way landscaping and irrigation installation with a $120,000 contract ceiling; Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration involves supply and installation of 56,250 native dune plants across 4,500 linear feet following hurricane damage; Pinellas County's five-year environmental services contract covers invasive plant removal, native plant installation, monitoring, and maintenance across multiple wetland and stormwater sites; and the City of Dallas seeks general plant purchases with new, unopened inventory delivered FOB to a single address.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties have posted solicitations since late February 2026. The Dallas purchase and the DeKalb County tennis center project (which appears to address IT infrastructure, not landscaping) are geographic outliers. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation closed April 14, 2026; the Collier County Quick Quote for dune plantings closed March 13, 2026; the Pinellas County RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services closed July 29, 2025; and the Dallas IFS plant purchase closed February 3, 2026. None of these solicitations specifically request live phlox; most require native Florida species (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) or an unspecified general plant list. The code's recent activity does not support a focused phlox procurement signal at the state or local level.
