UNSPSC 10217917: Live caupolicanense hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217917 Live caupolicanense hippeastrum is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows no alignment with this botanical specification. The five recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental site remediation with invasive species removal and native plant installation, IT and low-voltage infrastructure at a tennis center, and generic plant procurement — none of which correspond to the code's stated plant taxonomy. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a municipality (City of Dallas, Texas), though the variety of scopes suggests potential miscoding across the opportunities rather than consistent procurement activity under this code.

The geographic spread centers on Florida and Texas, with single recent opportunities in Georgia and Texas. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026) at $120,000 total contract value, Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune planting and restoration (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services over five years (proposals due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local buyers appear to be tagging broader landscaping, environmental restoration, and horticultural services under a code that targets a single plant species, indicating either systemic miscoding or dormancy in procurement for the specific commodity named.
