UNSPSC 10217905: Live araripinum hippeastrum

Live plant including the root ball of the araripinum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10217905 Live araripinum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that covers the purchase and installation of live ornamental plants, particularly hippeastrum (amaryllis) specimens, though recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied more broadly to landscaping and ecological restoration projects involving native plant materials, dune stabilization plantings, and general horticultural supplies. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county governments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts pursuing grounds maintenance, coastal restoration, and environmental remediation work. The scope spans supply-only plant purchases through fully managed installation and maintenance contracts; recent work ranges from simple plant procurement (City of Dallas purchasing finished plants for delivery) to complex multi-year environmental restoration involving native species selection, installation, monitoring, and permit-compliant reporting across wetlands and stormwater facilities.

Recent activity clusters in Florida coastal counties and Texas municipalities. Collier County issued a Quick Quote (QQ2026102) on March 13, 2026 for Pelican Bay dune plantings—56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower) installed across 225,000 square feet with posts, rope, and signage as post-hurricane recovery work. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners posted an IFB (IFBKM26047) on March 13, 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover installation meeting Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards, with bids due April 14, 2026 and a contract cap of $120,000. Pinellas County released an RFP (250628RFP) on February 26, 2026 for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater ponds, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator credentials, with proposals due July 29, 2025. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFSPKRB2300020) on January 28, 2026 for plant purchase with bids due February 3, 2026, FOB delivery, with no alternatives accepted. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 (posted June 9, 2026) nominally tagged under this code addresses IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure for tennis center reconstruction and appears misaligned with the code's horticultural scope.
