UNSPSC 10226076: Live strawflower

Live plant including the root ball of strawflower flowers

UNSPSC 10226076 Live strawflower, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not align with procurement of live strawflower plants. Instead, they capture broader landscape and environmental restoration services — including multi-mile roadway and coastal dune plantings, IT infrastructure installation at a recreation facility, and comprehensive five-year environmental monitoring and native plant management contracts. The issuing bodies are county governments and municipalities across Florida and Texas, ranging from small informal Quick Quote procurements to formal ITBs and RFPs for complex restoration work. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all tag for plant-related or landscaping work rather than as a precise commodity descriptor for strawflower specifically.

Recent activity centers in Florida, where Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have posted landscaping, coastal dune restoration, and environmental services solicitations between February and June 2026, alongside a Dallas, Texas city plant-purchase IFB in January 2026. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, contract value capped at $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune planting and stabilization (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). The code shows active procurement volume but limited specificity — buyers are soliciting design, installation, management, and warranty services far beyond commodity supply, suggesting the code assignment reflects inventory or categorization drift rather than precise commodity targeting.
