UNSPSC 10313008: Fresh cut red dahlia

Fresh cut bloom of the red variety of dahlias

UNSPSC 10313008 Fresh cut red dahlia is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement primarily as a line item within broader educational supplies, facilities maintenance, and horticultural services solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement focus. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns: the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 solicitation encompasses catalog discounts on educational activities and supplies generally (not specifically fresh flowers), the City of Dallas's purchase of plants (IFSPKRB2300020) covers general plant material without specification to dahlias, and the Los Alamos County hanging flower baskets RFP (RFP26-55) requires multi-year design and installation services with plant material broadly defined rather than dahlia-specific procurement. Only the DeKalb County tennis center reconstruction (ITB 2026-076) bears no relation to horticultural services whatsoever, focusing instead on IT and low-voltage infrastructure. The issuing bodies span educational cooperatives, municipal parks and recreation departments, and city procurement offices, with no dominant repeat buyer evident in the recent record.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts, City of Dallas), with secondary activity in New Mexico (Los Alamos County) and Georgia (DeKalb County). The code shows limited recent solicitation activity specifically targeting fresh cut red dahlias; instead, opportunities tag dahlia purchasing within larger horticultural supply or landscape maintenance contracts. The Region 7 EDACT2628 cooperative purchasing vehicle, due July 30, 2026, carries an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across educational supplies broadly. The Los Alamos County RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026, represents a multi-year maintenance and installation engagement and accepts proposals through the county's procurement portal with evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points) and design solutions (35 points). The City of Dallas plant purchase (due February 3, 2026, already closed) required FOB delivery and imposed no-substitution terms. This code does not appear to command dedicated procurement volume at the state or local level.
