UNSPSC 10311805: Fresh cut upright red amaranthus

Fresh cut bloom of the upright red variety of amaranthus

UNSPSC 10311805 Fresh cut upright red amaranthus is a Commodity code that captures ornamental cut flowers and flowering plants supplied to state and local governments for landscaping, civic beautification, and institutional grounds maintenance. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows a narrow match: state and local buyers are purchasing fresh cut flowers, potted flowering plants, and associated horticultural services for public spaces, parks, and facilities, but the four opportunities posted between January and June 2026 reveal significant scope divergence. Two solicitations (the City of Dallas plant purchase and Los Alamos County hanging basket design and maintenance) align with the code's ornamental-plant intent. The other two—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's broad educational supplies catalog and DeKalb County's IT infrastructure rebuild—bear no clear relationship to fresh cut amaranthus or horticultural procurement and appear to be mislabeled or cross-indexed erroneously under this code. The issuing bodies include municipal parks departments, county purchasing cooperatives, and city procurement offices; school districts and special-purpose districts do not appear in the recent activity, and no state department has posted opportunities under this code in the recent window.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest and South: Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP for hanging basket design and maintenance due June 4, 2026); the City of Dallas, Texas (informal solicitation for plants due February 3, 2026); and DeKalb County, Georgia (though the Georgia opportunity is unrelated to the code's scope). The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, based in Texas, manages educational-supply aggregation across multiple school districts but does not align with horticultural procurement. The code shows thin and geographically scattered recent activity; only two of four posted opportunities are substantively relevant to fresh cut flowers or ornamental plants, and neither explicitly names amaranthus. Pursue opportunities individually based on issuer-specific qualification requirements (Los Alamos County requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license; Dallas requires online submission and one-year warranty coverage), rather than rely on pipeline volume or repeat-buyer relationships under this code.
