UNSPSC 10226000: Live single species or varieties of flowers

Live plant including the root ball of single species or varieties of flowers

UNSPSC 10226000 Live single species or varieties of flowers is a Class code that describes the procurement of landscaping plants and flowers for grounds maintenance, median construction, and facilities beautification at state and local public facilities. State and local governments under this code buy live plant materials—annuals, perennials, plugs, potted plants, trees, shrubs, and grass seed—typically bundled with landscape design, installation, and ongoing maintenance services. Issuing bodies include transit authorities, county governments, and municipalities. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority posted RFP 140-26 for landscaping services across 60 transit stations and facilities in the Boston metropolitan area due November 20, 2026, encompassing lawn care, shrub and tree care, mulching, and seasonal cleanup on a three-year term with optional renewals. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida posted ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis beginning October 1, 2026, with bidders competing by product group (plugs, trees, 3-gallon plants, and grass seed) on a one-year initial term extendable to five years. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners solicited median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along Little Road in an IFB due October 6, 2026.

The MBTA procurement includes supplier diversity scoring at 25 percent of technical evaluation and requires Commercial General Liability of $1 million, Automobile Liability of $1 million, and Umbrella Liability of $5 million, with Railroad Protective Liability coverage mandatory for work within 50 feet of tracks.
