UNSPSC 10312805: Fresh cut cockscomb red celosia

Fresh cut bloom of the cockscomb red variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10312805 Fresh cut cockscomb red celosia, a Commodity code, nominally designates a specific ornamental plant species but shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that description. The recent opportunities posted under this code span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance contracts, and general plant purchases — only the last two represent floral or horticultural procurement, and neither specifies celosia by genus or variety. State and local governments buying under this code appear to use it for general plant and floral material procurement rather than this particular cultivar; the scope of work includes fresh-cut flowers and potted ornamentals for municipal landscaping, civic beautification projects, and educational supply catalogs serving school districts.

Issuing bodies include Texas education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), city parks and recreation departments (Los Alamos County, Dallas), and county government (DeKalb County). Geographic activity centers on Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Los Alamos County RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026, and evaluation weighted toward qualifications and design (35 points each) and cost (20 points); the City of Dallas informal solicitation 215260 for plant purchases with delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, proposals due February 3, 2026, and lowest responsive-and-responsible award; and the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative catalog discount bid EDACT2628 serving multiple school districts statewide, due July 30, 2026, with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion and 136 prior awards indicating a renewal vehicle. The code shows limited targeted activity; firms evaluating this commodity should treat it as part of broader horticultural or landscape-supply procurement rather than expect consistent demand for this specific plant variety.
