UNSPSC 10231909: Live bradford spider chrysanthemum

Live plant including the root ball of the bradford variety of spider chrysanthemums

UNSPSC 10231909 Live bradford spider chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that describes ornamental flowering plants for landscape installation and maintenance projects. State and local governments procure live plant material under this code for dune restoration, public park landscaping, roadway median plantings, and environmental mitigation work. The solicitations show a mix of supply-only purchases (bagged or containerized plants for delivery) and supply-with-installation contracts where contractors furnish plants, install them according to specified spacing and design standards, and provide establishment-phase care such as watering and warranty periods. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city parks and public works departments, and environmental management divisions. Counties in Florida—Pasco, Pinellas, Collier, and DeKalb County, Georgia—dominate recent activity, with the City of Dallas also purchasing plant material. Work varies from small informal quote solicitations (Quick Quote) to formal ITBs and RFPs, and contract scopes range from single-project landscape installations to multi-year environmental management and maintenance agreements.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, where Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, IFB due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, informal Quick Quote due March 13, 2026 with approximately 56,250 native dune plants), and Pinellas County (five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP, due July 29, 2025) have posted recent solicitations tied to coastal dune restoration, stormwater management, and wetland ecological recovery. The Collier County dune project explicitly requires native species—sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower—sourced from Florida-licensed nurseries with on-site superintendent supervision and sea turtle nesting season compliance. The Pinellas RFP contemplates a comprehensive native plant roster (150 species) and ongoing invasive species removal across multiple wetland and pond sites. The City of Dallas (Purchase of Plants, Informal Solicitation, due February 3, 2026) represents the only recent non-Florida opportunity; details on plant species or end use are not disclosed in the solicitation summary. Contract values and award timelines vary widely; the Pasco IFB does not exceed $120,000, while the Pinellas five-year RFP pricing is structured on hourly labor rates with no stated ceiling, suggesting larger potential spend for environmental restoration work.
