UNSPSC 10232000: Live novelty chrysanthemums

Live plant including the root ball of novelty chrysanthemums

UNSPSC 10232000 Live novelty chrysanthemums (Class) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally refers to cut or potted ornamental chrysanthemums, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it do not reflect that scope. The tagged solicitations instead cover IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a recreation facility (DeKalb County, Georgia), landscaping and irrigation installation along a county road (Pasco County, Florida), coastal dune restoration using native plants (Collier County, Florida), environmental planting and wetland management services (Pinellas County, Florida), and a generic plant purchase without species specification (City of Dallas, Texas). None of these opportunities align with novelty chrysanthemum procurement as understood in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a miscoding issue in the recent opportunities or minimal authentic activity under the code. State and local governments do purchase plants and plant materials—as evidenced by the Pasco County IFB for landscape installation due April 14, 2026, the Collier County Quick Quote for dune plantings due March 13, 2026, and the Pinellas County RFP for environmental planting and maintenance services—but these procurements target functional landscape restoration, coastal resilience, and invasive-species management rather than ornamental chrysanthemums specifically. The City of Dallas plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) accepted no species substitutes, suggesting a narrowly specified need, but the solicitation does not disclose what was actually being purchased. No established repeat buyers, set-aside programs, or geographic concentration emerges from these records. A business development professional should verify whether their chrysanthemum or ornamental-flower offering aligns with this code's actual purchasing pattern before investing pursuit resources.
