UNSPSC 10312809: Fresh cut plume purple celosia

Fresh cut bloom of the plume purple variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10312809 Fresh cut plume purple celosia is a Commodity code that encompasses decorative flowering plants for landscaping, hardscaping, and civic beautification projects procured by state and local governments. The recent opportunities show state and local agencies acquiring fresh cut flowers and potted flowering plants for streetscape enhancement, parks maintenance, and horticultural displays. Issuing bodies span county governments (Los Alamos County, DeKalb County, City of Dallas) and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles; the Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division and Dallas Parks and Recreation departments appear as active repeat buyers of plant materials and related landscaping services. Scope extends beyond the single cultivar named in the code to encompass broader floral procurement, installation, and multi-year maintenance contracts where nursery vendors must hold state licensing and provide design, planting, and seasonal replacement services.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County posted RFP 26-55 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 targeted for July 14, 2026; the procurement requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offers preferences for local, resident, Native American, and veteran-owned businesses under New Mexico state code. 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 all plants to be new and unopened, FOB delivery to Dallas, and backed by a one-year warranty. 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 an estimated $40.677 billion expenditure over two years and proposals due July 30, 2026; though the solicitation spans broader educational products, floral and horticultural supplies fall within the scope. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026) involves infrastructure systems at the DeKalb Tennis Center and does not reflect activity under this code.
