UNSPSC 10217909: Live aviflorum hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217909 Live aviflorum hippeastrum is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure live ornamental flowering plants, specifically amaryllis varieties. The recent solicitation activity reveals a pattern of purchases spanning landscaping installations, dune restoration, environmental restoration services, and general municipal plant procurement. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), municipalities (City of Dallas, Texas), and special-purpose divisions within counties such as Pelican Bay Services. The scope of work includes supply and installation of native and ornamental plant materials for coastal dune stabilization, landscape median plantings with integrated irrigation systems, environmental mitigation site restoration, and general municipal facility landscaping needs. Contractors must typically hold relevant licensure (State of Florida licensure for landscape work, State Certified Licensed Public Applicator certifications for environmental applications), comply with local and state environmental permitting requirements, and provide performance guarantees ranging from one-year warranties on plantings to multi-year maintenance obligations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where four of five representative opportunities originated—Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (IFB due April 14, 2026, at approximately $120,000), Collier County's Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings coastal restoration (Quick Quote due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services contract (RFP due July 29, 2025). Outside Florida, the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026), and DeKalb County, Georgia solicited IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction under an ITB (due July 13, 2026)—the latter appearing mistagged to this ornamental plant code and showing no relevance to the commodity's actual scope. Recent opportunities reflect strong demand for integrated landscaping and irrigation work, environmental restoration services with multi-year management components, and straightforward plant procurement for municipal operations.
