UNSPSC 10217937: Live intiflorum hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217937 Live intiflorum hippeastrum (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local contract activity tagged under it. The code nominally refers to a specific ornamental bulb plant species, yet the five most recent opportunities solicited under this code involve IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation system design and installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental mitigation and native plant management, and general plant material procurement — none of which align with live hippeastrum bulbs as a product category. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how these solicitations were tagged or that the code is being used as a catch-all for horticultural and landscape work without regard to commodity specificity.

The issuing bodies span Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a Georgia county (DeKalb), and a Texas city (Dallas), with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent record. Geographic spread is concentrated in Florida, where three of five opportunities originated, with outliers in Georgia and Texas. 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 procurement for coastal dune restoration planting following 2024 hurricane damage (due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025); and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant material purchase (due February 3, 2026). Because the code shows no coherent recent activity centered on hippeastrum bulbs or any single commodity class, pursuit under this code warrants clarification with issuing bodies about their actual classification intent before bid strategy development.
