UNSPSC 10311516: Fresh cut tulip purple anthurium

Fresh cut bloom of the tulip purple variety of anthuriums

UNSPSC 10311516 Fresh cut tulip purple anthurium, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of fresh-cut flowers and floral arrangements by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and horticultural projects. Recent solicitations show that state and local agencies purchase fresh plant material, hanging flower baskets, and related horticultural services for public spaces, parks, and facilities. Issuing bodies include county governments, municipalities, and regional purchasing cooperatives serving education service centers. The City of Dallas and Los Alamos County have both solicited floral and plant material recently; Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket RFP emphasizes design, installation, and multi-year maintenance services, while Dallas procured fresh plants for city operations. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, an education service center cooperative, included horticultural supplies in a broad educational activities and supplies catalog discount bid serving multiple school districts, though that solicitation spans a much wider commodity range.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and New Mexico, with the most substantial recent opportunity being Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets design, installation, and maintenance due June 4, 2026, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), with a multi-year contract term of up to seven years and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 13, 2026. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for plants with a February 3, 2026 due date requiring FOB delivery to a single Dallas address and one-year product warranty. Los Alamos County offers local business, resident business, and Native American resident preferences under state and county code; vendors must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and submit pricing for up to seven contract years with no cost-plus-a-percentage contracts permitted. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative vehicle showed estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028, though that encompasses educational supplies broadly, not floral procurement alone.
