UNSPSC 10217923: Live cybister hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217923 Live cybister hippeastrum, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations document landscaping and irrigation installation, dune restoration planting, environmental site management, and general plant procurement—none of which involve the specific botanical species named in the code. DeKalb County's ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center focuses on IT and low-voltage infrastructure, not live plants; Pasco County's IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation and Collier County's dune planting project involve native plant installation across coastal and median environments; and Pinellas County's RFP for environmental services encompasses invasive species removal and native plant establishment at wetlands and stormwater sites. The City of Dallas IFS 215260 solicits a generic purchase of plants with no species specificity. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's botanical designation and the actual procurement scope suggests a classification error in the posting records.

The issuing bodies pursuing these opportunities span Florida county governments (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties), one Georgia county (DeKalb County), and one Texas city (Dallas), with the preponderance of activity in Florida across landscaping, environmental restoration, and dune stabilization work. Pasco County's landscaping and irrigation project, valued at $120,000 with a 180-day completion window and one-year warranty period, closed April 14, 2026; Collier County's dune planting initiative closed March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year environmental services RFP closed July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas plant purchase closed February 3, 2026. Most jurisdictions required E-Verify compliance, current licensing and insurance, and adherence to state environmental and occupational safety standards. None of the recent opportunities explicitly state set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, though Pasco County's local vendor preference program was inapplicable due to state and federal funding involvement.
