UNSPSC 10226038: Live helenium

Live plant including the root ball of helenium flowers

UNSPSC 10226038 Live helenium, a Commodity code, covers ornamental plant material sourced and installed by state and local governments for landscaping, dune restoration, and environmental mitigation projects. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies procuring native and nonnative plant species as components of broader landscape construction, coastal stabilization, and environmental remediation work — not helenium specifically, but live plant material more broadly categorized under this code. The work includes supply and installation of trees, shrubs, groundcover, dune plants, and other living vegetation furnished to specifications, often with site preparation, initial watering, warranty periods, and compliance with state environmental and sourcing standards. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas, Texas), with counties dominating the activity in the recent record.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, where Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have each posted plant-related solicitations within the past six months; Texas and Georgia appear in the record with lower frequency. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road with nursery-stock trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover, due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project sourcing 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune sunflower, due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP 250628RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering 150 native plant species across wetlands and stormwater sites, due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas IFS 215260 for plants delivery, due February 3, 2026. The code shows active procurement tied to landscape construction, coastal restoration, and environmental compliance rather than helenium procurement in isolation.
