UNSPSC 10226402: Live single tuberosa

Live plant including the root ball of single variety of tuberosas

UNSPSC 10226402 Live single tuberosa is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of ornamental and native plant materials for landscaping, environmental restoration, dune stabilization, and general grounds maintenance. The recent opportunities in this code show wide variation in scale and purpose — from small-quantity purchases of generic plant stock for city operations to large-scale coastal restoration and multi-site environmental management contracts. Issuing bodies include county departments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and city governments (City of Dallas, Texas), with counties dominating recent activity. The scope spans direct plant supply and installation (trees, shrubs, sea oats, dune vegetation, and groundcover species to specified grade standards), site preparation, irrigation system design and installation, initial watering and establishment care, environmental monitoring and reporting, invasive species removal, and warranty periods extending from one to five years depending on contract type.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Texas, with particular concentration in coastal counties conducting dune restoration and stormwater management plantings. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (2.95 miles, $120,000 maximum, due April 14, 2026), Collier County's informal Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings (56,250 native plants across 225,000 square feet, due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting and monitoring services at wetlands and stormwater sites (released June 30, 2025, proposals due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). Coastal and environmental-restoration work carries explicit compliance requirements including E-Verify enrollment, state-specific licensing and certification (Florida Department of Agriculture plant grading, State Certified Licensed Public Applicator credentials), coastal permitting coordination, and wetland or stormwater agency compliance. Pasco County's local vendor preference program was noted but declared inapplicable due to state and federal funding constraints.
