UNSPSC 10226022: Live craspedia or billy balls

Live plant including the root ball of craspedia or billy balls flowers

UNSPSC 10226022 Live craspedia or billy balls is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not involve craspedia or ornamental cut flowers at all. The five recent solicitations span IT infrastructure installation, landscape and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration with native plants, environmental monitoring and native plant management, and general plant procurement — none of which align with the code's stated scope of live craspedia or billy balls. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that the code is being applied to broader plant-procurement activity that does not match its nominal definition. Based on the opportunities presented, state and local governments are using this code designation to solicit work that involves landscape installation, site restoration, environmental services, and plant supply — far broader than the specialty cut-flower category the code names.

The issuing-body mix includes county departments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city government (City of Dallas, Texas). Recent activity concentrates in Florida, which has posted four of the five opportunities: Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026, for $120,000), Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration via Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and monitoring RFP (250628RFP, due July 29, 2025). DeKalb County posted an IT infrastructure ITB for the tennis center (due July 13, 2026), which is plainly unrelated to plant procurement. The City of Dallas solicited general plant purchase under an Informal Solicitation (IFSPKRB2300020, due February 3, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity to craspedia or specialty florals; activity tagged to it involves landscape materials, native species restoration, environmental management, and facility infrastructure — signals suggesting either process error in tagging or that the code has drifted far from its intended scope in state and local practice.
