UNSPSC 10317956: Fresh cut petiolatum hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the petiolatum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317956 Fresh cut petiolatum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little relevant activity. The four most recent opportunities under this code span educational supplies cooperative purchasing (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628), IT infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County), hanging flower basket design and maintenance (Los Alamos County), and general plant procurement (City of Dallas). Only the Los Alamos County and City of Dallas opportunities involve ornamental plants or flowers; the other two are plainly unrelated to the code's stated scope. The Los Alamos opportunity concerns design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and plant material sourced by the contractor; the Dallas opportunity is a straightforward plants purchase with new, unopened products required FOB Dallas, Texas.

State and local activity under this code is sparse and geographically scattered. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) issued an RFP with a June 4, 2026 response date and an estimated July 14, 2026 award date, offering local, New Mexico resident, and Native American business preferences under county code and state statute; the City of Dallas (Texas) issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) with a February 3, 2026 response date for general plant purchases. Neither opportunity specifies dollar value. The mismatch between the code's specific botanical designation and the actual work being procured suggests either classification drift or data quality issues in the issuing agencies' tagging — practitioners should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities listed here.
