UNSPSC 10417911: Dried cut blossfeldiae hippeastrum

Dried cut bloom of the blossfeldiae variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10417911 Dried cut blossfeldiae hippeastrum is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, bears little direct relationship to the nominal product category. The two recent opportunities posted under this code—environmental planting and monitoring services from Pinellas County, and arts and craft supplies from Columbus Consolidated Government—do not involve dried cut hippeastrum flowers or related botanical products. The environmental-services RFP focuses on invasive species removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance across stormwater ponds and natural sites; the arts-and-craft procurement seeks general hobby and recreational supplies for parks and recreation programming. State and local procurement offices are applying this code to work that falls outside its stated scope, suggesting either a data-entry error or a misalignment between the taxonomy and actual purchasing practice. The code shows no substantive recent activity in the products or services its name describes.

The two opportunities on file originate from different jurisdictions and procurement contexts. Pinellas County issued an RFP (250628RFP) on June 30, 2025, for a five-year environmental management contract with proposal due July 29, 2025, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications and targeting $100,000 not-to-exceed for SBE work assignment. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued an IFB (RFB No. 26-0014) on February 4, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, at 2:30 PM Eastern Time for annual supply of arts and craft materials budgeted at $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple parks and recreation divisions. Geographic activity is limited to Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus). Until this code's taxonomy alignment improves, the signal for vendors is minimal—pursue these opportunities based on their actual scope (environmental services or recreational supplies) rather than the code descriptor.
