UNSPSC 10313201: Fresh cut chocolate dianthus

Fresh cut bloom of the chocolate variety of dianthuses

UNSPSC 10313201 Fresh cut chocolate dianthus, a Commodity code, shows limited and misaligned recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental flower variety, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass broad educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, general hanging flower baskets, and unspecified plant purchases — none of which target fresh cut chocolate dianthus specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring landscape maintenance services, general florals for municipal beautification, and plant material as part of facility or municipal contracts rather than procurement of a particular cut flower species.

The issuing bodies span a regional purchasing cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple Texas school districts), a county government (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), a city (Dallas), and a county recreation department (DeKalb County, Georgia). Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026, required a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 baskets; the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for purchase of plants, due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened items shipped FOB to a Dallas facility. The code sees activity across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, though the breadth of work — from catalog discounts on educational supplies to IT infrastructure — suggests the code assignment may not reflect how state and local procurement systems actually categorize fresh cut flower purchases. Buyers pursuing this code should expect municipal parks and recreation departments and special-purpose districts rather than high-volume fresh cut flower demand.
