UNSPSC 10226200: Live tanacetums

Live plants including the root ball of tanacetums

UNSPSC 10226200 Live tanacetums, a Class code, does not align with the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this taxonomy designation. The code nominally names a specific botanical commodity (live tanacetum plants), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction, landscape and irrigation installation, coastal dune planting and restoration, environmental mitigation and native plant management, and general nursery plant procurement—none of which concerns tanacetums specifically. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida), a major city (Dallas), and departments of innovation and technology, reflecting a mix of general-purpose local governments and specialized environmental or facilities management functions. The geographic concentration is heavily weighted to Florida (four of five recent opportunities), with one opportunity in Georgia and one in Texas.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests this code is either routinely misapplied by state and local procurement offices or serves as a catch-all placeholder for plant-related purchases that lack a more precise taxonomic home. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, contract value not to exceed $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for dune planting supply and installation including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across a five-year term (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). Firms pursuing activity under this code should verify the actual scope of work in each RFP or IFB rather than rely on the code designation alone.
