UNSPSC 70161600: Flora

UNSPSC 70161600 Flora is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities span IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a recreation facility (DeKalb County), coastal sand dune planting and native vegetation management (Pinellas County), and bridge construction with site restoration and drainage systems including bioretention (Santa Clara County). Only the Pinellas County dune planting work aligns directly with flora procurement — the code does not reflect meaningful current state and local buying activity in plant material, seeds, nursery stock, or horticultural supplies. The issuing bodies span a county government (DeKalb), a coastal county (Pinellas), and a large metropolitan county (Santa Clara), with no repeat buyers evident in the recent window.

Geographically, the three opportunities appear in Georgia, Florida, and California, showing no concentration. Pinellas County's 2025 Dune Planting Services, posted February 23, 2026, with a due date of November 6, 2025 (a historical closing date indicating a reposted or archived opportunity), is the only relevant recent solicitation under the code's nominal scope; it targets native coastal vegetation installation and maintenance across eight beach communities on an as-needed basis over a 12-month initial term with four optional renewals, estimated at $1,801,881.18, and required mandatory site visits before bid submission. The DeKalb County ITB for Tennis Center reconstruction (due July 13, 2026) and the Santa Clara County Red Fox Creek Bridge replacement ITB (due March 5, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on February 25, 2026) are tagged under the Flora code but entail infrastructure and construction work unrelated to horticultural procurement. The code shows minimal actual flora-related activity among recent state and local postings.
