UNSPSC 10217926: Live ferreyrae hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217926 Live ferreyrae hippeastrum, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of live ornamental plants for landscaping, restoration, and grounds maintenance projects across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring native and ornamental plant material for dune stabilization, park reconstruction, environmental restoration, and general municipal landscaping, often as part of larger infrastructure or ecological recovery initiatives. Counties, cities, and special-purpose districts issue the majority of solicitations, with Florida counties—particularly Collier, Pinellas, and Pasco—dominating recent activity, alongside municipal procurement offices in Texas and Georgia. Work ranges from large-scale dune restoration programs requiring tens of thousands of native plants installed to specification, to smaller municipal purchases of plants for general grounds maintenance and park improvements. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (posted March 13, 2026, bids due April 14, 2026), which included supply and installation of multiple plant species across 2.95 miles; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay dune plantings (posted and due March 13, 2026), encompassing approximately 56,250 native dune plants installed across coastal dune zones; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for general plant purchases (posted January 28, 2026, bids due February 3, 2026), requiring new, unopened plants in original packaging delivered to a specific municipal address.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with three of four named opportunities originating from Florida counties executing post-hurricane coastal restoration and routine environmental maintenance contracts. Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (released February 26, 2026, proposals due July 29, 2025) signals sustained demand for qualified environmental contractors managing wetlands, stormwater ponds, and invasive species removal alongside native plant installation. DeKalb County's ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (posted June 9, 2026, bids due July 13, 2026) includes landscaping scope as part of broader park infrastructure work. Bidders across these jurisdictions face compliance requirements including E-Verify enrollment, professional licensure, current insurance coverage, and in Florida, adherence to coastal environmental and stormwater regulations. The code sees active solicitation across the first half of 2026, with geographic concentration in Florida counties managing coastal resilience and environmental mitigation, supplemented by city-level municipal grounds maintenance procurement in larger Texas and Georgia jurisdictions.
