UNSPSC 10311612: Fresh cut purple sensation allium

Fresh cut bloom of the purple sensation variety of alliums

UNSPSC 10311612 Fresh cut purple sensation allium is a Commodity code that captures the procurement of horticultural materials — specifically cut flowers and floral supplies — for municipal beautification, landscape maintenance, and institutional decoration projects. The code sees activity across school districts, counties, cities, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives, with recent solicitations ranging from seasonal hanging-basket programs to bulk plant procurement for municipal facilities and parks departments.

Activity in this code concentrates in Texas and the Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center soliciting educational and miscellaneous supplies under EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026), Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP 2655 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes, due June 4, 2026), and the City of Dallas (Informal Solicitation 215260 for plants, due February 3, 2026). The Los Alamos procurement is representative of multi-year landscape-maintenance work — the county seeks a nursery-licensed contractor to design, supply, install, and maintain floral baskets across seven potential years, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and design (35 points each), and preferences extended to local, resident, Native American resident, and veteran-resident businesses under New Mexico Code. The City of Dallas procurement demonstrates straightforward commodity purchasing: new, unopened plants delivered FOB to a municipal facility, evaluated on low-bid criteria and subject to one-year warranty replacement at vendor expense. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative EDACT2628 solicitation, a renewal with 136 prior awards, catalogs educational supplies and materials — a mismatch with the fresh-allium code — suggesting inconsistent tagging at the cooperative level.
