UNSPSC 10314305: Fresh cut variegata guzmania

Fresh cut bloom of the variegata variety of guzmanias

UNSPSC 10314305 Fresh cut variegata guzmania is a Commodity code that describes ornamental tropical plants for landscaping and decorative purposes. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show divergent purchasing patterns: while the code name specifies a single plant species, actual procurement spans general plant purchases, hanging flower baskets with live plant material, and horticultural supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city procurement offices, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing agreements. The Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division, the City of Dallas, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) have posted recent opportunities. Work scope includes purchase of live nursery plants for municipal landscaping, design and installation of hanging flower baskets with multi-year maintenance, and bulk educational and landscape supplies distributed through cooperative catalogs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County is soliciting proposals under RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 13, 2026; the contract spans up to seven years with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), and offerors must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases with a due date of February 3, 2026, specifying new, unopened plants FOB Dallas delivery with one-year warranty coverage. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, serving multiple Texas school districts, posted a catalog discount bid solicitation (EDACT2628) due July 30, 2026, with an estimated expenditure of $40.677 billion over a two-year term from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028. A separate DeKalb County infrastructure solicitation (ITB 2026-076-ITB) tagged under this code appears unrelated to plant procurement and does not reflect typical activity.
