UNSPSC 10226085: Live spirea

Live plant including the root ball of spirea flowers

UNSPSC 10226085 Live spirea is a Commodity code that nominally names a single plant species, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows substantial mismatch with the abstract scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span landscape and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental site remediation, and generic plant procurement — work that involves live spirea only incidentally, if at all, and reflects broader grounds maintenance, ecological restoration, and capital construction rather than procurement of the named species alone.

The issuing bodies are spread across county and municipal procurement offices in Florida and Texas. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners posted an IFB in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, requiring trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species installed to Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards across 15 medians, with a contract value not to exceed $120,000 and a 180-day completion schedule. Collier County issued a Quick Quote in March 2026 for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, calling for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants — sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower — across approximately 225,000 square feet of coastal dune damaged during the 2024 tropical season. Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services across a five-year contract term (2025–2030), covering invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, and site maintenance at mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater treatment ponds, with a proposal deadline of July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for the Purchase of Plants, requiring new, unopened goods in original packaging, with a due date of February 3, 2026, and one-year warranty from acceptance. The code shows no recent activity reflecting procurement of live spirea specifically; the mismatch between the Commodity name and actual solicitation scope signals either systematic miscoding at the point of issuance or that this code is not actively used for its nominal purpose in recent state and local procurement.
