UNSPSC 10226401: Live double tuberosa

Live plant including the root ball of double variety of tuberosas

UNSPSC 10226401 Live double tuberosa is a Commodity code that captures native and ornamental plant material procurement — specifically live plants for landscaping, coastal restoration, and environmental remediation work. State and local governments buy under this code when sourcing plants for public grounds beautification, dune stabilization, wetland mitigation, stormwater pond restoration, and roadside landscaping. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), municipalities (City of Dallas, Texas), and special-purpose districts. Solicitations span straightforward plant supply contracts via RFQ or informal bids (ITB, IFS) to comprehensive environmental restoration and maintenance programs that bundle plant supply with installation, monitoring, and multi-year stewardship. Recent opportunities show demand for both mass commodity purchases—such as hundreds of thousands of native dune plants for coastal stabilization—and smaller ornamental plantings for public infrastructure and parks.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Florida, where coastal restoration and stormwater management drives repeated procurement. Recent solicitations include Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB (response date April 14, 2026), Collier County's Pelican Bay dune plantings Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and maintenance RFP (response date July 29, 2025). DeKalb County, Georgia posted a tennis center reconstruction ITB (due July 13, 2026) that included IT infrastructure but was tagged with this plant code—a mismatch suggesting the code sees some misclassification. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for plants (due February 3, 2026) with no disclosed budget. Florida counties dominate the activity, driven by post-hurricane coastal remediation and ongoing wetland and stormwater restoration mandates. Bidders in this code typically must hold state nursery licenses, demonstrate environmental restoration expertise where required, and comply with E-Verify enrollment and insurance requirements; some procurements (Pinellas, Collier) include SBE or local-vendor preference options.
