UNSPSC 10312211: Fresh cut japanese spider aster

Fresh cut bloom of the japanese spider variety of asters

UNSPSC 10312211 Fresh cut Japanese spider aster is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants and cut flowers procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and horticultural projects. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies purchasing fresh cut flowers and live plants for public spaces, municipal landscaping programs, and educational or recreational facilities, though the code itself appears to be applied inconsistently across diverse procurement contexts. Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county governments (Los Alamos County, DeKalb County, City of Dallas) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving educational networks (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The scope of work ranges from supply of individual cut flowers to design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of hanging floral baskets for streetscapes and public parks, often bundled with landscape design and horticultural services.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 for Plants with a due date of February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened plants FOB delivery to a Dallas facility with a one-year warranty from acceptance. Los Alamos County issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026; the county offers local and New Mexico resident business preferences and requires a valid nursery dealer license from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies serving multiple school districts, with proposals due July 30, 2026 and an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years. The sourcing mix reflects both spot-purchase and multi-year contract vehicles, with evaluation criteria typically emphasizing qualifications, references, design quality, and cost.
