UNSPSC 10312906: Fresh cut yellow carlton daffodil

Fresh cut bloom of the yellow carlton variety of daffodils

UNSPSC 10312906 Fresh cut yellow carlton daffodil is a Commodity code that, despite its narrow product name, sees state and local procurement activity primarily for ornamental flowers and plants in landscape and grounds maintenance contexts. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing cut flowers, hanging flower baskets with ongoing maintenance, and general plant materials for public grounds, parks, and streetscape projects. The issuing bodies are diverse — counties, cities, and regional education cooperatives — reflecting demand across multiple jurisdictional types. Los Alamos County and the City of Dallas have posted recent RFPs and informal solicitations for plant materials and landscape services; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a catalog discount bid on educational and general supplies that encompasses horticultural products for member school districts. Work under the code includes both one-time plant purchases and multi-year maintenance contracts requiring suppliers to hold relevant nursery licenses and provide replacement guarantees.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and New Mexico based on recent postings. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) issued RFP26-55 for hanging flower basket design, installation, and seven-year maintenance, due June 4, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); the County applies local and resident business preferences under state statute. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation (IFSPKRB2300020) for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened stock delivered FOB to 1775 California Crossing Road with a one-year warranty and tax exemption. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid, due July 30, 2026, estimated $40.677 billion total expenditures over two years and indicates 136 prior awards, suggesting this is an established cooperative vehicle. The mismatch between the code's specific product name (yellow carlton daffodil) and the broader plant-material procurement activity across recent opportunities suggests the code may be a taxonomic placeholder; substantive demand appears to center on landscape plants and horticultural services rather than the daffodil variety itself.
