UNSPSC 10312810: Fresh cut plume red celosia

Fresh cut bloom of the plume red variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10312810 Fresh cut plume red celosia (Commodity) encompasses ornamental flowering plants and live cut flowers for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and public-space beautification projects procured by counties, municipalities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and local entities. The code captures both standalone plant procurement and integrated design-build-maintain contracts where vendors supply plant material, installation labor, and ongoing horticultural services. State and local governments use this category to source seasonal floral displays, hanging baskets, street plantings, and parks-department landscaping, typically requiring vendors to hold nursery licenses or demonstrate horticultural expertise when installation and maintenance are included in scope.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, with Los Alamos County (New Mexico) and the City of Dallas (Texas) as visible repeat buyers. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 in May 2026 (due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident-business preferences under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21; the contract term contemplates up to seven years. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) in January 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for plants requiring FOB delivery to a single city address with new, unopened inventory in original packaging and a one-year warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a catalog-discount-bid solicitation (EDACT2628) in June 2026 (due July 30, 2026) serving multiple school districts, though the $40.677 billion estimated total expenditure suggests this covers broad educational supplies rather than horticultural material alone. Activity is concentrated in Southwest and Southeast markets where seasonal planting cycles and municipal beautification programs drive consistent demand.
