UNSPSC 10217900: Live hippeastrums

Live plants including the root ball of the hippeastrum type of flower

UNSPSC 10217900 Live hippeastrums is a Class code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass landscape installation and native plant restoration—including dune plantings, irrigation systems, environmental remediation, and general plant procurement—rather than the live hippeastrums (amaryllis bulbs) the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a major city (City of Dallas, Texas), with geographic activity concentrated in Florida and Texas. The work ranges from one-time landscaping and irrigation installations on roadways and coastal dunes to multi-year environmental restoration and maintenance contracts. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch: Pasco County issued an IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026) with a $120,000 contract cap; Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote for coastal dune planting restoration with native species including sea oats and railroad vine (posted and due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (released February 26, 2026, proposals due July 29, 2025); and the City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026). None of these solicitations target live hippeastrums or bulb products. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether the UNSPSC classification represents a data quality issue in the underlying procurement records rather than a meaningful buying category for state and local landscaping and environmental services procurement.
