UNSPSC 10311800: Fresh cut amaranthuses

Fresh cut blooms of amaranthuses

UNSPSC 10311800 Fresh cut amaranthuses is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of fresh-cut flowers and ornamental plant materials by state and local government bodies. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with amaranthuses specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader horticultural and landscaping procurement: hanging flower baskets with design and maintenance services, general plant purchases for municipal use, and educational supplies bundled with discount catalogs. The issuing bodies span education service centers, county parks departments, and municipal procurement offices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (fresh cut amaranthuses) and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either underutilized for its intended commodity or is being applied inconsistently across state and local jurisdictions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with recent opportunities from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center), Los Alamos County in New Mexico, the City of Dallas, and DeKalb County in Georgia. Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets and maintenance, with proposals due June 4, 2026, represents the most directly relevant recent activity; it requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offers local, resident business, and Native American business preferences. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for general plants due February 3, 2026, requiring FOB delivery to a municipal address with a one-year warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 cooperative purchasing vehicle for educational activities and supplies, due July 30, 2026, carries an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years but encompasses a broad catalog discount model rather than fresh floriculture specifically. The code shows limited recent volume relative to its nominal scope, suggesting modest current opportunity density for firms specializing in fresh-cut amaranthuses.
