UNSPSC 10311504: Fresh cut hot pink anthurium

Fresh cut bloom of the hot pink variety of anthuriums

UNSPSC 10311504 Fresh cut hot pink anthurium, a Commodity code, is rarely solicited by state and local governments for their core procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a significant mismatch: the code nominally identifies a specific ornamental flower variety, yet the posted solicitations encompass much broader categories — educational supplies cooperatives, IT infrastructure reconstruction, general hanging flower baskets and maintenance services, and unspecified plant purchases — none of which specifically call for fresh cut hot pink anthurium as described in the code name. The one opportunity most closely aligned with floriculture (Los Alamos County's hanging flower baskets RFP) does not specify anthurium variety at all, instead calling for design-driven plant material meeting seasonal and climate requirements for street display. Most of the tagged opportunities appear to use the code incorrectly or as a default classifier for floriculture-adjacent work.

State and local procurement activity under this code is concentrated in a small number of jurisdictions. The recent posts show Los Alamos County (New Mexico) pursuing an RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance with a due date of June 4, 2026; the City of Dallas (Texas) issuing an informal solicitation for general plant purchases due February 3, 2026; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas education service center) opening a large education supplies cooperative bid (EDACT2628) due July 30, 2026 with $40.677 billion in estimated expenditures over two years. DeKalb County (Georgia) posted an ITB for tennis center reconstruction that includes IT and low voltage infrastructure, which does not align with this code's floriculture scope. The mismatch across these opportunities suggests the code sees minimal intentional use for fresh cut anthurium procurement; firms should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities classified here.
