UNSPSC 10417942: Dried cut macbridei hippeastrum

Dried cut bloom of the macbridei variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10417942 Dried cut macbridei hippeastrum is a Commodity code that shows limited recent relevance to state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a significant mismatch with the nominal scope—dried cut macbridei hippeastrum is a specific ornamental flower variety, yet the tagged solicitations cover environmental planting and monitoring services on one hand and general arts and craft supplies on the other. The environmental planting opportunity from Pinellas County involves invasive species removal, native plant installation, and wetland management across multiple sites including stormwater ponds and surface water conveyances; the Columbus Consolidated Government procurement covers broad arts and craft and recreational supplies for parks and recreation divisions. Neither opportunity is purchasing dried cut hippeastrum flowers or related botanical products. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for plant-related activity that does not align with the code's actual commodity definition.

The geographic spread reflected in recent activity spans Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), though the code's limited relevance to the actual work being solicited makes geographic concentration unreliable as a signal for future opportunity identification. Pinellas County posted an RFP on June 30, 2025, due July 29, 2025, for a five-year environmental services contract with potential extensions, structured on an as-needed basis with SBE participation provisions and a $100,000 work-assignment threshold. Columbus Consolidated Government issued a Request for Bids on February 4, 2026, due February 25, 2026, for arts and craft supplies with an expected annual volume of $30,000 to $50,000 and a two-year base term plus three optional one-year renewals. The code's nominal scope—dried cut macbridei flowers—does not align with either solicitation, signaling that the UNSPSC code mapping may be unreliable for identifying relevant state and local opportunities in this category.
