UNSPSC 10226047: Live jatropha curcas or firecracker

Live plant including the root ball of jatropha curcas or firecracker flowers

UNSPSC 10226047 Live jatropha curcas or firecracker is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for jatropha curcas or related plants; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect landscaping, irrigation, dune restoration, environmental planting and monitoring, and general plant procurement across Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The code itself appears to describe a specific ornamental or botanical specimen, but state and local buyers are using it as a catch-all classification for diverse landscape and environmental planting services that fall outside its narrow product definition. This suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-quality issue in how opportunities are tagged to the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The recent opportunities span county governments (DeKalb County in Georgia; Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida) and a city (Dallas, Texas), with work types including landscaping and irrigation design for roadway corridors (Pasco County IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), coastal dune restoration with native plants (Collier County quick quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, due March 13, 2026), five-year environmental planting and wetland management (Pinellas County RFP 250628RFP, proposal due July 29, 2025), and general plant procurement for city use (Dallas City IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated product; vendors considering pursuit should verify with issuing bodies whether they intend this code for future jatropha-specific botanicals or whether it represents a broader coding practice that does not reflect actual scope.
