UNSPSC 10311513: Fresh cut tropic fire anthurium

Fresh cut bloom of the tropic fire variety of anthuriums

UNSPSC 10311513 Fresh cut tropic fire anthurium is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plants and cut-flower procurement by state and local government entities. The recent opportunities under this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity: the code purports to describe a specific tropical anthurium variety, yet the solicitations indexed under it span general plant procurement (hanging flower baskets, educational supplies catalogs with plant materials, and IT infrastructure cabling). The most directly relevant buying activity involves landscape and horticultural services — specifically, the design, installation, and maintenance of flowering plants for municipal beautification — rather than cut-flower wholesale or specialized tropical varieties. State and local entities sourcing under this code include municipalities, county governments, and education service centers, with buying ranging from individual plant purchases to multi-year ornamental landscape contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 14, 2026; the procurement requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and qualifies for local, resident, and veteran business preferences under New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) in January 2026 for general plant purchases with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring FOB delivery to a city facility and a one-year replacement warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid solicitation (EDACT2628) in June 2026 covering educational activities and supplies with a response date of July 30, 2026, though the $40.677 billion estimated expenditure and broad educational scope suggest plant materials represent only a portion of the cooperative's buying. The code shows limited recent activity specifically aligned with its anthurium taxonomy.
