UNSPSC 10226012: Live candy tuft

Live plant including the root ball of candy tuft flowers

UNSPSC 10226012 Live candy tuft is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The five recent opportunities tagged to this code involve IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure installation at a tennis center (DeKalb County), landscaping and irrigation systems along a county road (Pasco County), native coastal dune plantings for erosion control (Collier County), environmental plant removal and native species installation across wetlands and stormwater sites (Pinellas County), and generic plant purchases for city use (City of Dallas). Only the Collier County dune plantings, Pinellas County environmental restoration, and Pasco County roadside landscaping align substantively with horticultural procurement; the others represent unrelated work mislabeled under this code. The issuing bodies include two Florida counties (Pasco and Pinellas), one Florida municipality (Collier County Services Division), one Texas city (Dallas), and one Georgia county (DeKalb), with no repeat buyers evident across the sample.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, where Collier County (Quick Quote process, due March 13, 2026, for approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune sunflower at 24-inch centers), Pasco County (IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026, for landscaping and irrigation on Ridge Road including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover), and Pinellas County (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025, for five-year environmental planting and maintenance across mitigation sites and wetlands) represent the substantive activity. The City of Dallas (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, for unspecified plant purchases) and DeKalb County (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026, primarily for IT infrastructure) show little relevance to the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement under this code does not support a reliable market signal; the matching of these opportunities to candy tuft appears incidental rather than indicative of active buying in this commodity segment.
