UNSPSC 10230000: Live chrysanthemums

Live plants including the root ball of chrysanthemums

UNSPSC 10230000 Live chrysanthemums (Family) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code describe IT infrastructure installation, roadway landscaping and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental restoration services, and general plant purchases for municipal use—none of which involve chrysanthemum procurement or supply. State and local buyers are using this code to tag landscape and environmental work that spans hardscape infrastructure, native plant installation, invasive species removal, and ongoing site maintenance, rather than cut flowers or horticultural supplies. The issuing bodies include county departments of transportation and environmental services, county services divisions, and city procurement offices across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, suggesting the code is applied broadly to vegetation-related construction and environmental management without regard to the chrysanthemum specification in its name.

Recent activity shows Pasco County (Florida) issuing an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road with a response date of April 14, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issuing a Quick Quote for dune planting supply and installation with a March 13, 2026 deadline; Pinellas County (Florida) issuing an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with a July 29, 2025 deadline; and the City of Dallas issuing an informal solicitation for plants with a February 3, 2026 deadline. The code shows no decision relevance for chrysanthemum suppliers and limited relevance for live plant retailers unless they also perform landscape installation or environmental restoration work. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement suggests this Family code is misapplied by issuing bodies for broader environmental and landscape services.
