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

UNSPSC 10217970 Live variegatum hippeastrum (Commodity) covers live ornamental plants, primarily hippeastrum species, that state and local governments procure for landscaping, environmental restoration, and facility beautification projects. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring hippeastrum and other live plants—both specialty species and mixed ornamental stock—through direct purchase, installation contracts, and multi-year environmental management agreements. Issuing bodies include county governments (Pasco County, Pinellas County, Collier County in Florida; DeKalb County in Georgia) and municipal governments (City of Dallas), with counties dominating the recent activity through large-scale environmental and infrastructure landscaping initiatives. The work ranges from simple plant supply and delivery to comprehensive installation with site preparation, irrigation integration, monitoring, and warranty services; recent contracts bundle plant procurement with labor, specialized equipment (irrigation systems, erosion-control materials), and post-installation maintenance obligations.
