UNSPSC 10311600: Fresh cut alliums

Fresh cut blooms of alliums

UNSPSC 10311600 Fresh cut alliums is a Class code that encompasses ornamental and horticultural plant material, including flowering plants, hanging baskets, and related nursery stock procured by state and local jurisdictions for parks, streetscapes, and facility beautification. State and local procurement activity under this code spans education service centers, county parks and recreation divisions, and city public works or facilities departments. The solicitations posted under this code reflect diverse issuing bodies rather than a concentrated set of repeat buyers—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center), Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division, and the City of Dallas have all solicited within recent months—indicating fragmented demand across multiple governance tiers and geographies.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and South. Los Alamos County, New Mexico posted RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets distributed across Central Avenue and multiple named streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, evaluation criteria emphasizing qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance solutions (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points), with New Mexico local and resident business preferences available. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) for plants with a due date of February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened, in-original-packaging stock with FOB delivery to a specified Dallas address and a one-year warranty on acceptance. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a cooperative purchasing vehicle (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion expenditure over a two-year term from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028, though the scope description—focused on general educational products rather than fresh cut alliums—suggests potential mislabeling of that particular opportunity under this code.
