UNSPSC 10217947: Live mollevillquense hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217947 Live mollevillquense hippeastrum is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific live plant species, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code cover broad landscaping and environmental restoration work—coastal dune plantings with native species, roadside irrigation and landscaping installation, environmental monitoring and invasive species removal across multiple site types, IT infrastructure installation at a recreation facility, and generic plant procurement. None of these opportunities center on the hippeastrum species or require it as a primary deliverable. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual scope of work solicited suggests either miscoding in the source records or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the commodities state and local governments are actually buying under this designation.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, and DeKalb County, Georgia), with one outlier in Dallas, Texas. Representative opportunities include Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (2.95 miles, due April 14, 2026, with a contract cap of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for native dune plant supply and installation 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 purchase (due February 3, 2026). Given the absence of a clear, consistent link between the code definition and the actual work being bought, this code shows limited utility for business development targeting a specific plant commodity in state and local markets.
