UNSPSC 10217952: Live paquichanum hippeastrum

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

UNSPSC 10217952 Live paquichanum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and installation of live ornamental plants—specifically tropical flowering bulbs and related plantings—for landscaping, environmental restoration, and grounds beautification projects at state and local facilities. The recent opportunities solicited under this code show wide variation in scale and purpose: from roadside landscaping and irrigation installation spanning multiple miles to coastal dune restoration using native species and modest municipal plant purchases for city facilities. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), city procurement offices (City of Dallas, Texas), and special-purpose districts. The work typically encompasses site preparation, species selection compliant with local and environmental standards, installation labor, initial establishment care such as watering and hydrogel application, and post-installation monitoring or warranty periods ranging from one to five years.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with notable solicitations posted between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a total contract price not to exceed $120,000, due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote solicitation for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings involving approximately 56,250 native dune plants and coastal stabilization work, due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering invasive plant removal and native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater sites, due July 29, 2025; DeKalb County's ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center including IT and low-voltage infrastructure, due July 13, 2026; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for the Purchase of Plants, due February 3, 2026. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Pinellas County included SBE participation provisions with a work assignment not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000, and Pasco County offers a local vendor preference program, though it was not applicable to the Ridge Road project due to state and federal funding.
