UNSPSC 10217906: Live arboricola hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217906 Live arboricola hippeastrum, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning IT infrastructure at DeKalb County's tennis center, landscape and irrigation installation along a Florida roadway, coastal dune plantings in Collier County, environmental planting and wetland management across Pinellas County, and general plant purchases by the City of Dallas—bear no relationship to hippeastrum (amaryllis) procurement. State and local agencies are buying broad landscaping and environmental restoration services, containerized nursery plants for general municipal use, and specialized coastal vegetation for erosion control, none of which maps to the live arboricola hippeastrum commodity as typically understood. The issuing bodies include county boards (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a city procurement office (Dallas), and environmental management divisions, but these are incidental to the code mismatch itself.

The geographic footprint spans Georgia and Florida, with Florida dominating the recent posting activity (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties plus broader state compliance requirements), and Texas (Dallas). Without accurate classification of these opportunities, no meaningful geographic concentration or market-activity signal can be drawn from this code. The code appears to suffer from a tagging error or systemic miscoding in the source database. A business development professional evaluating this commodity should treat the recent-opportunity record as unreliable and conduct independent research into actual hippeastrum sourcing activity—if any—at state and local government level before committing pursuit resources.
