UNSPSC 10313005: Fresh cut orange dahlia

Fresh cut bloom of the orange variety of dahlias

UNSPSC 10313005 Fresh cut orange dahlia is a Commodity code that covers cut flowers and floral arrangements purchased by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and public event decoration. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code to procure hanging flower baskets, potted plants, and related horticultural services rather than specifically dahlia cultivars; the code appears to function as a broader botanical and floral-supply designation in practice. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city procurement offices, and education service centers operating as cooperative purchasing vehicles. Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division and the City of Dallas Parks and Recreation Department are among recent active buyers in this space, with Los Alamos County managing an ongoing multi-year contract for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance.

Activity is sparse but geographically dispersed, with recent solicitations originating in New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia. Los Alamos County issued RFP 26-55 for hanging flower baskets with a June 4, 2026 deadline, requiring contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and maintain up to 144 baskets across town-site streets over a potential seven-year term, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points) and design and maintenance solution (35 points). The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened plants shipped FOB to a Dallas delivery address with one-year warranty coverage. A third opportunity, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, appears tangentially relevant but primarily addresses broad educational commodities rather than horticultural goods. No dedicated state-level floral or nursery procurement programs appear in the recent activity.
