UNSPSC 10217946: Live miniatum hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217946 Live miniatum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that captures the supply and installation of live ornamental plants—specifically potted or containerized flowering species—for municipal parks, landscaping projects, and environmental restoration work. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for seasonal plantings, park improvements, and native-species restoration initiatives tied to parks departments, environmental management divisions, and facilities maintenance. The issuing bodies span county governments, cities, and special-purpose districts, with recent activity concentrated among Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas) and the City of Dallas. Scope ranges from simple plant purchases for city facilities to large-scale dune and wetland restoration, where contractors must source nursery-grown material meeting state grade and origin standards, install plants at specified spacing and depths, provide initial watering and soil amendments, and in some cases deliver monitoring and maintenance over warranty periods extending from one year to five years.

Recent opportunities reflect this diversity. Pasco County issued an IFB on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, encompassing tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover installation meeting Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards across 15 medians, with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and liquidated damages of $1,609 per diem for delays. Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (posted and due March 13, 2026) solicited supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants—sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower—as 2-inch liners planted at 24-inch centers across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune following 2024 hurricane damage. Pinellas County released an RFP on February 26, 2026 (proposals due July 29, 2025) for a five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services contract covering invasive species removal, native plant installation, and wetland restoration at multiple sites, with SBE participation provisions and an SBE work assignment threshold of $100,000. The City of Dallas posted a simple plant purchase IFB on January 28, 2026 (due February 3, 2026) requiring new, unopened nursery stock shipped FOB to a Dallas facility with a one-year warranty. Activity in 2026 is concentrated in Florida (three of four recent opportunities) and Texas, with Florida counties and municipalities driving the largest, most complex restoration and landscaping contracts.
