UNSPSC 10217910: Live barreirasum hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217910 Live barreirasum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that nominally denotes a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a much broader mix of landscaping and environmental planting work—including dune restoration, roadside median landscaping with irrigation, native plant installation and maintenance at wetlands and stormwater facilities, and general plant procurement for municipal grounds. The work spans supply-only purchases (plants delivered to a city warehouse), supply-and-install contracts (landscape and irrigation systems along roadways), multi-year environmental stewardship agreements (invasive removal, native planting, and monitoring at coastal and freshwater sites), and IT infrastructure installation disguised under a landscaping code. Issuing bodies include Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), Georgia counties (DeKalb), and large Texas cities (Dallas), with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent activity. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal botanical scope and actual procurement activity—the IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure system for DeKalb Tennis Center is plainly unrelated to plant procurement and suggests tagging errors in state and local procurement systems.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Texas, with activity spanning county environmental mitigation contracts, municipal grounds maintenance, and specialized coastal dune restoration. Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) for 2.95 miles with a contract maximum of $120,000 and April 14, 2026 response deadline; Collier County's informal procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 4,500 linear feet) with due date March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services for a five-year contract from 2025 to 2030 with July 29, 2025 proposal deadline; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases (IFS 215260) with February 3, 2026 response deadline. The code shows low decision-relevance for most vendors—activity is fragmented across unrelated commodity types, geographic regions are dispersed, and recent opportunities mix small municipal purchases with specialized environmental contracts that require specific state certifications or ecological expertise.
