UNSPSC 10310000: Fresh cut blooms of high species or variety count flowers

Fresh cut blooms of flower types with more than 5 varieties registered with unspsc

UNSPSC 10310000 Fresh cut blooms of high species or variety count flowers is a Family code that encompasses landscape and grounds maintenance services involving live plantings, horticultural design, and seasonal color management for municipal and institutional facilities. Recent state and local opportunities show governments purchasing multi-year maintenance contracts for flowering beds, hanging baskets, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and associated irrigation systems—work that extends well beyond fresh-cut retail flowers into comprehensive landscape stewardship. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County and DeKalb County in Georgia, Hillsborough County in Florida), municipalities (Los Alamos County in New Mexico), and school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools). County parks and recreation departments are repeat buyers of these services, particularly for demonstration gardens, streetscape beautification, and facility grounds management. Contractors must typically hold state nursery licenses, employ licensed landscape architects, and demonstrate expertise in native plantings, integrated pest management, irrigation system maintenance, and water-efficient landscaping practices.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Southwest. Fulton County, Georgia posted ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, requiring quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens across a 0.95-acre site with optional one-year renewals through 2029. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets along town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and evaluation weighted toward qualifications and design (70 points combined) over cost (20 points); the County applies local business and New Mexico resident preferences. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida solicited bids under ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across school facilities, with addendum issued July 21, 2026 and encouragement for small business and certified minority-owned vendors. A fourth posting from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (EDACT2628) tagged educational activities and supplies, showing no direct relevance to landscape or floral services and appearing to represent a coding mismatch in the source data.
