UNSPSC 10226054: Live lythrum

Live plant including the root ball of lythrum flowers

UNSPSC 10226054 Live lythrum is a Commodity code nominally tied to botanical plantings, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity actually acquiring live lythrum or related invasive-plant-control products. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span native plant installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental site management, and general landscape procurement—work that is substantially different from the code's stated scope. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida) and a major city (Dallas). The work ranges from supply-and-install contracts for native dune plantings and invasive species removal to more straightforward purchasing of ornamental plants for municipal use, with contract structures including ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal purchase solicitations.

The recent activity clusters in Florida, with four of five posted opportunities originating from Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas), and one from Georgia (DeKalb County). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, covering 2.95 miles with native plant installation and a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings, due March 13, 2026, requiring supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants for coastal stabilization; Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services spanning 2025–2030, with proposals due July 29, 2025, targeting wetlands and stormwater-pond restoration; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for general plant purchases, due February 3, 2026, with delivery to 1775 California Crossing Rd. The code shows limited relevance to live lythrum procurement specifically; the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being solicited suggests this category may not align well with current state and local demand for lythrum-specific products or services.
