UNSPSC 10217928: Live fosteri hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217928 Live fosteri hippeastrum (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span IT infrastructure installation, landscape and irrigation design and installation, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental wetland and stormwater management, and general plant purchasing—none of which are narrowly constrained to live fosteri hippeastrum or even primarily focused on that species. The mismatch between the code's literal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a coding error in the source data or a broad application of the code to plant-related procurement that diverges significantly from its intended Commodity-level specificity.

The issuing bodies include counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city (City of Dallas, Texas), reflecting both municipal and county procurement patterns. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000), Collier County's quick quote for coastal dune plantings and stabilization (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). The geographic spread centers on Florida counties with secondary activity in Texas. The code shows little relevant recent activity when interpreted narrowly as fosteri hippeastrum procurement and appears unsuitable for business development targeting in its current form.
