UNSPSC 10232005: Live bradford orange pompon chrysanthemum

Live plant including the root ball of the bradford orange variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10232005 Live bradford orange pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single ornamental plant species, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of bradford orange pompon chrysanthemums themselves. The recent opportunities logged show landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration with native plants, environmental site management including invasive species removal and native plant installation, and a general city plant purchase with unspecified species — none of which align with the narrow scope implied by the code name. State and local procurement offices are applying this code to a broad range of horticultural work rather than to a discrete commodity. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida), a city (Dallas, Texas), and special-purpose district or municipal-level purchasing. The code shows activity from Florida county and regional authorities particularly active in coastal and environmental restoration work.

Recent activity appears geographically concentrated in Florida, with three of four geographically identifiable recent opportunities originating from Florida counties — Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation, IFB due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings using native species, Quick Quote due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services 2025–2030, RFP due July 29, 2025). A fourth opportunity from Dallas, Texas (plant purchase, Informal Solicitation due February 3, 2026) involves general plant procurement with no species detail. A fifth opportunity from DeKalb County, Georgia (tennis center reconstruction, ITB due July 13, 2026) appears to be miscoded, as it solicits IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation unrelated to plants or landscaping. The code shows little relevant recent activity and significant mislabeling in the opportunities tagged to it; pursuit decisions should account for the substantial disconnect between the code's nominal definition and what issuing bodies are actually buying under it.
