UNSPSC 10317922: Fresh cut curitibanum hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the curitibanum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317922 Fresh cut curitibanum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental flowering plant species, but recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment with this narrow botanical specification. The code appears in a mixed set of recent solicitations spanning general educational supplies and services, tennis facility reconstruction, landscape flower basket maintenance and design, and plant procurement more broadly — none of which target curitibanum hippeastrum specifically. State and local buyers using this code are school districts and education service centers (through cooperative purchasing vehicles), county parks and recreation departments, and municipal procurement offices. The actual purchasing activity under the code does not reflect the specificity of the Commodity name; instead, government buyers are soliciting general plant materials, ornamental flower baskets, and educational products through this classification.

Recent opportunities illustrate the scope mismatch. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026 (due July 30, 2026) for catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies with estimated two-year expenditures of $40.677 billion. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 on May 7, 2026 (due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, requiring contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and manage plant material quality and drip irrigation systems. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for the purchase of plants requiring new, unopened merchandise FOB delivery to a Dallas address, with one-year warranty from acceptance. These opportunities span Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia; the code shows no concentrated activity in a particular state or region. The mismatch between the Commodity code name and actual procurement activity suggests this code may be applied inconsistently or may not reflect current state and local buying patterns for the plant species it nominally represents.
