UNSPSC 10226701: Live orange watsonias

Live plant including the root ball of orange variety of watsonias

UNSPSC 10226701 Live orange watsonias is a Commodity code that describes ornamental plant material — specifically live orange watsonias — but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration using native plants, environmental planting and invasive species management, general plant procurement, and IT infrastructure installation. Of these five solicitations, only two — Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation project (IFB KM-26-047) and Collier County's Pelican Bay dune plantings (Quick Quote QQ2026102) — involve direct plant installation and supply work; the remainder cover environmental services, native plant restoration, or general plant procurement without specificity to orange watsonias. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and a city (Dallas), with work spanning landscape and median plantings, coastal dune stabilization, environmental site mitigation, and facilities support.

Activity concentrates in Florida, where Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties have posted recent environmental and landscaping solicitations. The Pasco County Ridge Road project (due April 14, 2026) calls for landscaping and irrigation installation across 2.95 miles with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and includes native tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover species to Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards. The Collier County Pelican Bay dune plantings (due March 13, 2026) seek supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants — sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower — across 4,500 linear feet following 2024 hurricane damage. Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025) covers a five-year period from 2025 to 2030 with a comprehensive list of 150 native plant species for mitigation sites and wetlands. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for general plant procurement (due February 3, 2026), but scope and species are unspecified in available documents. The code shows little direct procurement activity for orange watsonias as a named commodity; purchasing under this code appears driven by broader landscaping, environmental restoration, and native plant initiatives rather than by demand for this specific species.
