UNSPSC 10314100: Fresh cut gladioluses

Fresh cut blooms of gladioluses

UNSPSC 10314100 Fresh cut gladioluses is a Class code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural products for public sector use. State and local governments procure under this code for landscape beautification, grounds maintenance, and public space decoration projects. The issuing bodies include municipalities, county parks departments, education service centers, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts and local entities. Work ranges from single-item plant purchases to multi-year landscape service contracts that include design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of flowering displays in public spaces.

Recent solicitation activity shows geographic spread across the Southwest and South, with Los Alamos County in New Mexico conducting an RFP for design and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on public streets with responses due June 4, 2026; the City of Dallas posting an informal solicitation for plant purchase with delivery to a municipal address and bids due February 3, 2026; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posting a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with responses due July 30, 2026. The Los Alamos RFP emphasizes multi-year contracting with weighted evaluation on qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance approach (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points), and offers local business, resident business, and veteran preferences under New Mexico state law. The Dallas purchase follows a lowest responsive and responsible vendor criterion with FOB delivery pricing and one-year warranty requirements. Vendors pursuing these opportunities should note that the New Mexico procurement requires a valid nursery dealer license and cost proposals for up to seven contract years, while the Texas cooperative vehicle established an estimated two-year expenditure commitment of $40.677 billion across its member districts and entities.
