UNSPSC 10226040: Live hesperis matronalis

Live plant including the root ball of hesperis matronalis flowers

UNSPSC 10226040 Live hesperis matronalis is a Commodity code covering the procurement of living hesperis matronalis plants by state and local governments. Recent activity shows this code is being applied inconsistently to plant procurement more broadly. The source opportunities reveal that state and local bodies are soliciting for live plant materials across multiple categories—native dune plantings, environmental restoration, roadway landscaping and irrigation, and general plant purchases for municipal use. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and cities (City of Dallas, Texas), spanning counties and municipalities of varying sizes. The work being solicited ranges from specialized coastal dune stabilization using native species (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) to comprehensive environmental mitigation and wetland restoration involving invasive species removal and native plant installation, to standard landscaping with irrigation systems along roadways, to routine municipal plant procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (three of five recent opportunities), with additional recent solicitations in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026, with a $120,000 contract ceiling), Collier County's coastal dune restoration for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony project (Quick Quote QQ2026102, due March 13, 2026, involving approximately 56,250 native dune plants), Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services contract (RFP 250628RFP, with proposal due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's plant purchase solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026). The code itself appears to have minimal direct relevance to most of these opportunities—the recent activity focuses on landscape installation, environmental restoration, and general plant procurement rather than hesperis matronalis specifically, suggesting either broad-spectrum tagging of plant-related work or a mismatch between the code's narrow botanical scope and how state and local procurement offices are applying it in practice.
