UNSPSC 10217908: Live aulicum hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217908 Live aulicum hippeastrum (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific botanical specimen, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span infrastructure installation, landscape and irrigation construction, coastal dune restoration with native plants, and environmental management services—none of which center on live aulicum hippeastrum as a discrete procurement line item. The mismatch between the code's narrow botanical scope and the breadth of work being solicited suggests either tagging inconsistency or that the code does not reflect how state and local governments actually buy under this designation.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, where Pasco County (landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (coastal dune plantings via Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services RFP, due July 29, 2025) have posted solicitations focused on large-scale native plant installation and site restoration. A City of Dallas informal solicitation for generic plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) and a DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026) round out the sample, though the Georgia opportunity is plainly unrelated to plant procurement. The geographic spread and issuing-body mix do not support pursuing this code as a reliable signal of buying activity; the code itself appears misaligned with state and local procurement taxonomy in use.
