UNSPSC 10225701: Live flava rugelii sarracenia

Live plant including the root ball of flava rugelii variety of sarracenias

UNSPSC 10225701 Live flava rugelii sarracenia (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific plant species, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad environmental and landscape services including IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation system design and installation, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental planting and invasive species management, and general plant procurement — work that extends far beyond the narrow scope of a single species name. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city government (Dallas, Texas), suggesting municipal and county parks, facilities, and environmental management departments as the primary procurement sources rather than specialized nursery or horticulture purchasing.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with three of five recent opportunities originating from Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas), one from DeKalb County in Georgia, and one from Dallas, Texas. Recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a not-to-exceed contract value of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings including 56,250 native plants (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering a five-year contract period (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry does not reflect current state and local procurement practice for this commodity.
