UNSPSC 10311507: Fresh cut obake red and green anthurium

Fresh cut bloom of the obake red/green variety of anthuriums

UNSPSC 10311507 Fresh cut obake red and green anthurium is a Commodity code that covers ornamental flowering plants and cut flowers for municipal and institutional landscaping, decorative, and grounds maintenance use. Recent state and local solicitations show the code applied broadly to floral supply and landscaping plant procurement, though the specific anthurium variety appears in few targeted opportunities. State and local governments use this code primarily for seasonal flower baskets, landscape plantings, institutional grounds upkeep, and temporary or permanent ornamental installations managed by parks and recreation departments, county facilities divisions, and municipal grounds crews. Issuing bodies span county governments, cities, and special-purpose districts; the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, serving multiple school districts and educational entities, has established a renewal cooperative purchasing agreement with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years (August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028), though the EDACT2628 catalog discount bid encompasses a broad range of educational supplies and activities rather than floral products alone.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on Central Avenue and nearby streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026; the County applies local, resident, and Native American business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21, and the contract term contemplates up to seven years. The City of Dallas solicited plant purchases under Informal Solicitation 215260, due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened inventory FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Rd., Dallas, Texas, with a one-year warranty from acceptance and no alternatives or substitutes accepted. The recent opportunities show episodic demand driven by grounds maintenance cycles and seasonal plantings rather than continuous procurement volume under the specific commodity code.
