UNSPSC 10311700: Fresh cut alstroemerias

Fresh cut blooms of alstroemerias

UNSPSC 10311700 Fresh cut alstroemerias is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of fresh floral products, particularly cut flowers and related floral materials for landscape and decorative applications by state and local government entities. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy fresh flowers and flowering plants for public space beautification, streetscape enhancement, and landscape maintenance—work that typically requires nursery licensing, horticultural expertise, and ongoing maintenance capabilities. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city procurement offices, and regional education service cooperatives serving school districts. Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas have posted RFPs and informal solicitations for fresh plant materials and hanging flower basket services within the past six months, indicating active demand across multiple jurisdictions and use cases.

Geographic activity centers on the Southwest and South, with recent solicitations posted by Los Alamos County (New Mexico RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026) and the City of Dallas (IFS 215260 for plants, due February 3, 2026). The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving Texas education service centers posted a broad catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years, though that solicitation spans a wide product range beyond fresh cut flowers. Vendors responding to flower and plant solicitations typically must hold nursery dealer licenses where required by state law, supply new and unopened materials in original packaging, arrange FOB delivery to specified city locations, and provide warranty coverage against plant failure or defect. Los Alamos County's RFP emphasizes qualifications and design experience (35 points each), with preference programs available for local and resident New Mexico businesses holding valid state-issued certificates.
