UNSPSC 10217936: Live illustre hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217936 Live illustre hippeastrum, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The source records show no relevant procurement activity for the botanical specimen named in the code. Instead, the tagged opportunities span IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (DeKalb County, Georgia), landscaping and irrigation systems for roadway medians (Pasco County, Florida), coastal dune restoration planting (Collier County, Florida), environmental wetland and stormwater site management including invasive species removal and native plant installation (Pinellas County, Florida), and general plant purchases for city operations (City of Dallas, Texas). These are infrastructure, ecosystem restoration, and facilities procurement activities with no connection to live hippeastrum bulbs or ornamental floriculture.

State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting live hippeastrum under this code at present. The mismatch between the code's botanical specificity and the scope of actual opportunities suggests either a classification error in the source data or dormant demand under this particular commodity designation. Activity over the past six months centers on Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and Georgia and Texas municipalities pursuing broader landscaping and environmental services contracts, none of which reference hippeastrum or specialty bulb sourcing. Firms evaluating entry into state and local plant procurement would be better served tracking related Family and Class codes under landscaping and grounds maintenance rather than this Commodity designation.
