UNSPSC 10226006: Live blushing bride

Live plant including the root ball of blushing bride flowers

UNSPSC 10226006 Live blushing bride is a Commodity code that names a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect purchases of that plant alone — instead, they span broader landscaping and environmental restoration work involving multiple plant species, irrigation systems, dune stabilization, and long-term site management. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb), cities (Dallas), and special-purpose environmental divisions. The scope of work ranges from roadside median and right-of-way landscaping with irrigation to coastal dune restoration using native species, invasive plant removal paired with native replanting, and multiyear environmental monitoring and maintenance contracts. Recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for 2.95 miles of Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (response due April 14, 2026), Collier County's quick quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings of approximately 56,250 native plants across 225,000 square feet (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering multiple sites (due July 29, 2025, with posting in February 2026).

Activity concentrates in Florida, where Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties have posted multiple opportunities since late 2025, reflecting state-level demand for coastal resilience and stormwater management work following 2024 hurricane damage. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) with delivery to a single location, representing municipal grounds-maintenance procurement. DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at a tennis center reconstruction (due July 13, 2026), which is plainly unrelated to plant procurement and appears to be a coding mismatch. The Florida opportunities emphasize native species, regulatory compliance, site-specific environmental restoration, and multiyear maintenance — characteristics that suggest this code captures both commodity plant purchases and the project-level landscaping and ecological restoration services that state and local governments increasingly procure in response to climate resilience and environmental stewardship mandates.
