UNSPSC 10312804: Fresh cut cockscomb purple celosia

Fresh cut bloom of the cockscomb purple variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10312804 Fresh cut cockscomb purple celosia, a Commodity code, addresses ornamental flowering plants for landscaping and civic beautification projects procured by state and local governments. The code captures spending on fresh-cut and potted ornamental flowers supplied to parks departments, municipalities, and cooperative purchasing networks serving school districts and public entities. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying this commodity primarily as part of broader landscape maintenance contracts, seasonal plantings, and bulk flower basket programs rather than as standalone line items.

Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas have posted recent opportunities under or closely aligned with this code. Los Alamos County issued RFP 2655 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award estimated July 14, 2026; the County applies local and state resident business preferences and requires offerors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and submit seven-year pricing. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026 for the Purchase of Plants with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened merchandise FOB delivery to Dallas with freight included in pricing and a one-year replacement warranty from acceptance date. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026 seeking catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026 for a two-year term; though the cooperative's scope encompasses broad educational products, ornamental plants and bulbs may be included under the umbrella of supplies. Geographic activity centers on Texas and New Mexico, with additional scattered municipal and county procurement across other states. The code shows episodic rather than continuous activity — opportunities cluster seasonally around spring and summer planting cycles and multi-year landscape maintenance contracts that bundle plant procurement with installation and ongoing care.
