UNSPSC 10311611: Fresh cut pink giant allium

Fresh cut bloom of the pink giant variety of alliums

UNSPSC 10311611 Fresh cut pink giant allium is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants and cut-flower supplies for institutional and municipal landscaping, grounds maintenance, and public beautification programs. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for plant material—both living plants for ongoing landscape installation and maintenance contracts, and cut flowers for seasonal displays—sourced through informal bids, requests for proposals, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and county park departments. The issuing bodies include cities (Dallas), counties (Los Angeles, DeKalb), and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing networks (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). These jurisdictions buy plant inventory to support parks, recreation facilities, streetscape beautification programs, and institutional grounds.

Recent activity shows a geographically dispersed market anchored in Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) issued RFP 26-55 in May 2026 seeking design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-center streetscapes, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and an estimated award date of July 14, 2026; the contract contemplates a multi-year agreement of up to seven years with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and design (70 points combined) and cost (20 points), and offers local, resident, Native American resident, and veteran-business preferences under New Mexico State Code. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) in January 2026 for the purchase of plants, with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened stock delivered FOB to a city facility with a one-year replacement warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) posted EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026, representing a renewal of an existing cooperative agreement with 136 prior awards and an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over a two-year term. The code shows recurring activity but limited volume—most recent solicitations target small quantities for specific municipal or institutional use rather than large-scale commercial supply.
