UNSPSC 10311716: Fresh cut new cairo alstroemeria

Fresh cut bloom of the new cairo variety of alstroemerias

UNSPSC 10311716 Fresh cut new cairo alstroemeria is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental cut flowers but does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The most recent postings tagged to this code involve educational supplies catalogs, tennis center reconstruction, hanging flower baskets, and general plant purchases — a sprawl of unrelated categories that signals a taxonomy mismatch rather than coherent procurement activity. None of the recent opportunities involve fresh cut alstroemeria flowers specifically. State and local buyers posting against this code include regional education cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), and cities (Dallas, Texas), but the diversity of their actual purchases suggests either misclassification or administrative inconsistency in coding rather than a defined market segment.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, though the solicitations themselves do not cohere around a single commodity class. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (EDACT2628) issued a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026 with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years; the Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division posted an RFP (RFP2655) for hanging flower baskets and multi-year maintenance due June 4, 2026; and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFSPKRB2300020) for general plants due February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests that pursuing opportunities under 10311716 should be contingent on confirming the issuing body's coding practice, as the code does not show meaningful recent activity in fresh cut flowers.
