UNSPSC 10217925: Live evansiae hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217925 Live evansiae hippeastrum, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations show landscape and native plant installation, dune restoration, environmental planting and monitoring, and general plant procurement—none of which match the narrow botanical specificity of the code name. DeKalb County's ITB for IT and low voltage infrastructure at a tennis center reconstruction is plainly unrelated to any plant work. The remaining three opportunities—Pasco County's landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, Collier County's coastal dune planting with native species, and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and invasive species removal contract—do involve plant material, but they address broad landscape restoration, erosion control, and ecological management rather than a single ornamental species. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants is generic plant procurement with no species specification.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, where Pasco County (landscape and irrigation installation), Collier County (dune restoration Quick Quote), and Pinellas County (environmental services RFP) have all posted work within the past five months. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, due April 14, 2026, specified a contract ceiling of $120,000 and required Florida licensure and E-Verify enrollment; the Collier County Quick Quote for dune plantings, due March 13, 2026, involved supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native plants across coastal dunes damaged in 2024; and the Pinellas County RFP for five-year environmental services, due July 29, 2025, sought firms with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator credentials and aquatic herbicide expertise. The code shows little relevant recent activity and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests a tagging error rather than genuine alignment with live hippeastrum procurement at the state and local level.
