UNSPSC 10226082: Live vriesea splendens

Live plant including the root ball of vriesea splendens flowers

UNSPSC 10226082 Live vriesea splendens is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations show little alignment with this specific classification. The code appears in procurement records for landscape and dune restoration work across Florida and Texas, though the actual plants being solicited—sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower, generic native species, and unspecified ornamental plants—do not match the vriesea splendens designation. Issuing bodies include county commissions (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties in Florida), a state department (Pinellas County's environmental restoration program), and a major city (Dallas). The work spans both supply of plant materials and comprehensive installation, maintenance, and monitoring services tied to environmental restoration, coastal dune stabilization, and landscape beautification projects.

Recent opportunities reflect a heavy concentration in Florida, where Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road with a contract value not to exceed $120,000.00, due April 14, 2026; Collier County issued a Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, due March 13, 2026; and Pinellas County released an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering a five-year period from 2025 to 2030, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for Purchase of Plants on January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal species and the actual plants and services being procured suggests the code may be incorrectly assigned to these opportunities, or the code's scope in state and local systems diverges significantly from its intended taxonomy.
