UNSPSC 10312808: Fresh cut plume orange celosia

Fresh cut bloom of the plume orange variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10312808 Fresh cut plume orange celosia is a Commodity code that describes ornamental flowering plants for landscape and horticultural use. Recent state and local solicitations show this code being applied to broader plant procurement, including hanging flower baskets, general plant purchases, and educational supplies, suggesting the category functions as a catch-all for live plant materials and related floriculture services. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, municipal public works departments, city procurement offices, and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. The scope of actual work being solicited spans plant material supply, installation and maintenance of ornamental plantings in public spaces, design consultation for landscape installations, and general plant procurement for municipal operations and educational activities. Contractors typically must hold horticultural or nursery dealer licenses, manage plant health and replacement warranties, coordinate with county infrastructure and IT standards, and submit itemized pricing with firm quotes.
