UNSPSC 11121901: Licorice roots

UNSPSC 11121901 Licorice roots, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recently posted opportunities tagged under this code are grounds maintenance and landscaping services (City of Arlington, Texas), nursery plants and landscaping products (City of Altamonte Springs, Florida), plants and shrubs for community beautification (Collier County, Florida), IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (DeKalb County, Georgia), and invasive exotic plant removal (Monroe County, Florida). None of these solicitations involve licorice roots or products derived from licorice root material. The code appears misapplied across recent opportunities, which instead span landscaping procurement (annuals, trees, plugs, sod, ornamental plants), grounds maintenance services, and environmental remediation—categories substantially divergent from the nominal scope of licorice root commodity sourcing.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities covers Texas, Florida, and Georgia, but the mismatch between code assignment and actual work being solicited renders this geography immaterial to licorice root procurement. The issuing bodies include municipal parks and facilities departments (Arlington, Altamonte Springs), county beautification and environmental divisions (Collier County, DeKalb County, Monroe County), and airport authorities. Because the code itself does not reflect the actual goods or services in demand, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and rely on higher-level landscaping or horticulture codes to identify genuine landscaping and grounds-maintenance opportunities in this market segment.
