UNSPSC 10311515: Fresh cut tulip pink anthurium

Fresh cut bloom of the tulip pink variety of anthuriums

UNSPSC 10311515 Fresh cut tulip pink anthurium is a Commodity code that does not reflect the nature of state and local procurement activity recently tagged to it. The code nominally addresses a single cut-flower product, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span educational supplies, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and general plant procurement — none of which align with the specific product indicated by the code name. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a broader floral and horticultural procurement activity that the code's narrow commodity definition does not capture. State and local governments do buy flowers and plants — Los Alamos County and the City of Dallas have both solicited plant material recently — but the opportunities show wide variation in scope and application, from one-time plant purchases to multi-year landscape maintenance contracts. When state and local issuing bodies do tag flower and plant procurement to this code, they appear to be treating it as a catch-all for horticultural goods and services rather than as a code for a specific cut-flower variety.

Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas posted the most directly relevant recent opportunities. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026; the contract runs up to seven years, requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, and offers local, resident, and Native American business preferences under New Mexico Code Section 13-1-21. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026 for plant purchases with a due date of February 3, 2026, requiring new unopened plants delivered FOB to a specified Dallas address and priced firm for thirty days. A Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicitation (EDACT2628) tagged to this code on June 15, 2026 encompasses educational supplies and activities with an estimated two-year spend of $40.677 billion through a cooperative vehicle serving multiple Texas school districts, but this opportunity appears unrelated to the code's horticultural scope. Activity under this code remains minimal and geographically scattered; pursue only when Los Alamos County, Dallas, or similar municipal parks and recreation departments openly solicit flower or plant material by tender, and verify that the scope aligns with fresh-cut flowers or living ornamental plants rather than broader landscape or supply categories.
