UNSPSC 10312800: Fresh cut celosias

Fresh cut blooms of celosias

UNSPSC 10312800 Fresh cut celosias is a Class code that covers ornamental plant procurement for municipal and county parks, streetscaping, and public facilities maintenance. State and local governments buy fresh cut celosias and related flowering plants primarily for seasonal public-space beautification, hanging basket and planter installations, and grounds maintenance contracts. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Dallas), counties (Los Angeles County, DeKalb County), parks and recreation departments, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code appears in both direct plant-purchase solicitations and broader landscape maintenance contracts where plant material is embedded in larger public-facility projects.

Recent activity centers on Texas and New Mexico. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases in January 2026 with delivery to a facility in Dallas, and Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 for hanging flower baskets and multi-year maintenance, posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident-business preferences under New Mexico Code Section 13-1-21. The Los Alamos RFP contemplates a seven-year term with weighted evaluation emphasizing qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026 for catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies, with proposals due July 30, 2026 and an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion—though this opportunity's relevance to fresh cut celosias is unclear from the available description.
