UNSPSC 10417914: Dried cut breviflorum hippeastrum

Dried cut bloom of the breviflorum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10417914 Dried cut breviflorum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that in practice bears little relation to recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific dried flower variety, yet the two recent opportunities posted under this code—Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring RFP and Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies RFB—concern ecological restoration services and general recreational supplies respectively, neither involving dried hippeastrum flowers. State and local governments appear to use this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for horticultural and landscaping-adjacent purchases that do not map cleanly to the code's narrow botanical definition. The scope of actual work being solicited includes invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland and stormwater site maintenance, and recreational craft supplies—none of which aligns with purchasing dried cut flowers as a defined commodity.

The issuing bodies are diverse county and municipal governments. Pinellas County in Florida and Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia represent the recent activity, though the geographic spread is too narrow and the activity too scattered to signal a concentrated market. The Pinellas County RFP, posted February 26, 2026 with a July 29, 2025 response deadline, sought environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services for a five-year term (2025–2030) covering mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater ponds, with SBE set-aside provisions and labor-rate pricing structures. The Columbus RFB, posted February 4, 2026 with a February 25, 2026 deadline, solicited arts and craft and recreational supplies for the Parks and Recreation Department on an annual basis with an estimated spend of $30,000 to $50,000. The code shows minimal alignment with either opportunity's actual scope, suggesting this Commodity designation is either rarely used or misapplied in state and local procurement systems.
