UNSPSC 10312210: Fresh cut japanese red aster

Fresh cut bloom of the japanese red variety of asters

UNSPSC 10312210 Fresh cut Japanese red aster, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The four recent opportunities posted under or adjacent to this code span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, municipal hanging flower baskets and maintenance, and generic plant procurement — none of which specifically call for fresh cut Japanese red asters or fresh cut flowers in any quantity. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas education service center) solicitation EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026, encompasses broad educational activities and supplies via a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple school districts, while Los Alamos County's RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, seeks design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of hanging flower baskets with live plants (not cut flowers) under a multi-year agreement. The City of Dallas IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, requested generic plant purchases for delivery to a single address with no detail on variety or end use.

The recent opportunities originate from Texas (Region 7 Cooperative serving school districts statewide, and the City of Dallas), New Mexico (Los Alamos County), and Georgia (a single IT infrastructure project unrelated to florals). None of the solicitations explicitly target or describe fresh cut Japanese red asters as a line item, nor do they suggest standing procurement demand for this specific commodity under the code. Issuing bodies include a regional education cooperative, a county government, and a city — all general-purpose jurisdictions rather than specialized horticultural or landscape entities. The code shows little recent relevant activity and does not support a pursue recommendation at this time based on posted state and local opportunities.
