UNSPSC 10312813: Fresh cut wheat yellow celosia

Fresh cut bloom of the wheat yellow variety of celosias

UNSPSC 10312813 Fresh cut wheat yellow celosia is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental cut flower; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The code's recent activity spans educational supply catalogs, IT infrastructure installation for parks facilities, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant procurement — none of which match the specific product "fresh cut wheat yellow celosia." The issuing bodies include a regional education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), a county parks division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), and a city parks department (City of Dallas, Texas). The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either that state and local jurisdictions are using this code as a catch-all for florals and ornamentals beyond the specific product named, or that recent opportunities have been miscoded.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative statewide, City of Dallas) and scattered across the Southwest and Southeast (New Mexico, Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), and offering New Mexico and local business preferences; and the City of Dallas's IFS 215260 for plant purchase, due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened merchandise delivered FOB to Dallas with a one-year warranty and lowest-responsive-vendor evaluation. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies, due July 30, 2026, estimates $40.677 billion over two years and indicates 136 previous awards under this cooperative vehicle.
