UNSPSC 10417909: Dried cut aviflorum hippeastrum

Dried cut bloom of the aviflorum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10417909 Dried cut aviflorum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that encompasses dried ornamental flowering specimens used in arrangements, décor, and habitat restoration projects. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show a sharp mismatch: neither the Pinellas County environmental planting and monitoring services solicitation nor the Columbus Consolidated Government arts and craft supplies procurement involves dried cut aviflorum hippeastrum or dried floral products in any form. Pinellas County is soliciting five-year environmental management services focused on invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance across mitigation sites and stormwater facilities; Columbus is seeking arts and craft inventory for its Parks and Recreation Department's after-school and community programs. The issuing bodies represent two different transaction types — Pinellas County as a county environmental services buyer and Columbus Consolidated Government as a municipal recreation department vendor — but neither transaction aligns with the dried ornamental flower commodity itself.

The code shows negligible recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under this code in early 2026 lack any connection to dried cut flowers, plant specimens, or floristry supply. Pinellas County issued its RFP on June 30, 2025, with proposals due July 29, 2025, while Columbus Consolidated Government posted its Request for Bids No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026. Neither Florida nor Georgia procurement records in the source material reflect actual demand for the commodity named in the code. The misclassification suggests either indexing error in the state and local opportunity database or that this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement activity. Firms pursuing this commodity should monitor for reclassification or conduct direct outreach to botanical gardens, landscape restoration vendors, and municipal environmental departments rather than relying on this code's opportunity pipeline.
